Eberechi Eze is the next name on Arsenal’s transfer wish list.

The Gunners have signed six players already in this window, and on most occasions, that should be enough ahead of the start of the new season.

However, Mikel Arteta and Andrea Berta have identified the Crystal Palace star as a key target, and Arsenal fans are hoping that this one will go through in the coming weeks.

Eze is brilliant in so many different ways, and he has now shown a new trick that could be recreated if he joins the Gunners.

Nicolas Jover will love what Arsenal target Eberechi Eze has just done

Nicolas Jover has transformed Arsenal over the years.

Arteta brought the Frenchman to the club from Brentford and made him his set-piece coach. Not much was known about him at the time, but he has become a very popular figure in recent seasons.

Jover has made Arsenal one of the best set-piece teams in world football, and we’re sure he already has a few new plans for the upcoming campaign.

Eberechi Eze may have given him a new idea now after what he did in Crystal Palace’s latest pre-season game against Augsburg in Austria.

The Eagles won a free-kick outside the box, and Eze stepped up to take it. The England international is more than capable of finding the back of the net from that range.

However, Eze executed a training ground routine perfectly by accurately finding Jean-Philippe Mateta inside the crowded box. The striker then expertly found the net.

Jover, who is a master of set-pieces, can recreate this at Arsenal with Eze and Viktor Gyokeres if the Gunners can sign the former in the coming days.

Nicolas Jover has another big job at Arsenal

Jover deserves nothing but praise for the work he has done at Arsenal.

The Frenchman made opposition teams fear conceding a corner, and even though the Gunners haven’t been as effective recently, they are still very strong.

The problem, however, is at the other end of the pitch.

A huge percentage of the goals that Arsenal conceded in the 2024/25 season in the Premier League came from set-pieces.

Everyone has been talking about the Gunners’ problems in attack, but their inability to defend corners and indirect free-kicks is in need of massive improvement as well.

That’s Jover’s big task ahead of the start of the new season, and we hope he can find the required solutions.
