Arsenal is about to sign Crystal Palace attacker Eze. Commentator Merson said at Sky Sports that Eze is an excellent signing and he can help Arsenal break the low post defense.
Merson said: "Ezer is an excellent signing for Arsenal. He has the ability to change the game and is very suitable. If Arsenal let Tottenham sign Ezer, I will definitely question the club's approach because he is an excellent player. When other teams come to the Emirates Stadium and defend at low post, Arsenal will be in trouble. Other teams always want to limit Arsenal's offensive space, and it is difficult for Arsenal to use tactics to disrupt the opponent's defense.
We have seen it in the past few years, and when the game enters the final stage and the season enters the final stage, they always have difficulty breaking through the opponent's defense. For me, Ezer's role in Arsenal is here. He is the X factor. He has the ability to break through the low post defense when the game is in a stalemate. .
Eze may not be the best choice for away games. For teams like Liverpool and Manchester City, Arsenal may face some pressure and have to adopt slightly different styles of play. But that's why we form a strong lineup. Arsenal's possession rate is as high as 70% to 80% at home against weaker teams, allowing Eze to play the role he wants to play because he can always create something."
When asked if Eze can play a key role in Arsenal's championship game, Merson said: "I think Arsenal with Eze will win the Premier League, and Arsenal will have a chance without him, because this season is really hard to predict. Liverpool and Manchester City have performed well in the first round, but Eze will eventually help them win."
