The Arsenal squad is now looking like one of, if not the, strongest in the Premier League for this season.

Mikel Arteta has been backed heavily in the market, with roughly £250 million spent on new players to help bolster his options.

That money has seen every part of the squad strengthened, with Arsenal signing players for quality in depth ahead of another long campaign.

Some have been ones for competition, such as Kepa Arrizabalaga for the goalkeeping ranks, while others are a nod to the future, such as Cristhian Mosquera.

However, other signings are there to bring something a little different to a team that needs to keep evolving to that next level.

Eberechi Eze compared to Tottenham legend David Ginola after Arsenal transfer

Among those who will add a different dimension to Arsenal is Eberechi Eze, who made the switch from Crystal Palace this summer.

The England international, who was once part of the Hale End academy setup, was tipped to join Tottenham instead.

However, Arsenal swooped in to sign Eze from beneath them, sealing another impressive option to their forward line.

The 27-year-old has a level of creativity that is hard to compare, with pundits struggling to name a player he is similar to.

However, for Don Hutchinson, the closest he could think of was Tottenham icon David Ginola, as he said on The Weekend Wrap: “[Eze is] A superstar player, I always try, when I see a player who is really good, who can I compare them with? I can’t think of many players. The only one who comes to mind a little bit is David Ginola.

“His height, his strength, how graceful he is, and you can see on his face, he’s won the lottery, he’s just signed for Arsenal.”

Hutchinson wasn’t the only one to praise the arrival, as Ian Wright was delighted with Eze signing for Arsenal, even comparing him to Dennis Bergkamp.

Eberechi Eze’s career so far compared to David Ginola in the Premier League

While David Ginola is fondly remembered for his time in the Premier League, Eberechi Eze is still writing his own legacy in the competition.

The forward already has some quite memorable moments for Crystal Palace, but will look to write the next chapter with Arsenal.

In 48 fewer appearances, Eze already has eight more league goals than Ginola, but he still trails by 11 assists.

With the England international now playing in a top side, he will be looking to extend that record even further, perhaps even surpassing Ginola in the process.
