Eberechi Eze loved his debut season at Arsenal.
The England international secured a move to the Emirates Stadium after snubbing Tottenham Hotspur in the 11th hour.
It was Eze’s dream move, and his decision was justified as he ended the campaign as a Premier League champion.
More importantly, the attacker loved playing with a number of Arsenal players. One of them was Bukayo Saka.

Eberechi Eze hails Arsenal and England teammate Bukayo Saka
Saka is one of the best players in the world.
The Arsenal academy graduate has had a difficult last 18 months due to injuries, but he is still rated very highly by his managers and teammates.
Eberechi Eze is among the few lucky ones because he gets to play with Saka both at Arsenal and in the England national team.
That makes him a great judge of the Arsenal number seven, and he has heaped praise on him.
He said, as relayed on HaytersTV: “He’s an incredibly talented player. His level of understanding of the game is insane.
“I feel like he is a player who makes the right decisions a lot of the time. He’s so effective, so efficient, and I enjoy playing with him a lot because you always know what you’re going to get from him, you can always link up with him.
“He’s a fun player to play with, for sure.”
Bukayo Saka’s decision-making is up there with the very best
Saka’s decision-making in the final third is what sets him apart from other good wingers.
You very rarely see the Arsenal number seven make a bad decision in and around the box. If there’s room to attack, he does it well. If there isn’t, he doesn’t give away possession.
That is why managers love him so much – not just Mikel Arteta but Thomas Tuchel as well.
The England boss could’ve easily snubbed Saka because he is not fully fit yet. Despite that, he picked him over the likes of Phil Foden and Cole Palmer for the World Cup.
That speaks volumes, and we expect Saka to have a big impact in the latter stages of the competition.
