That’s why, when he walked out of the tunnel, he could feel it, he couldn’t believe it had happened.”Eze’s unveiling was a powerful moment not only for the player but also for those who supported his journey from disappointment as a teenager to success as a professional.Eze has long dreamed of playing for Arsenal, and his commitment to giving his best in the seasons ahead will be central to his ambitions at the club.
