Arsenal fans will be keeping a keen eye on Thomas Tuchel’s England side during the international break.

Bukayo Saka has missed international duty with a hamstring problem but the Gunners still have a number of stars in action for England.

Noni Madueke will be hoping to impress in forward areas, whilst Declan Rice will no doubt be in the midfield with Myles Lewis-Skelly inverting from left back.

Eberechi Eze will also be hoping to gain some minutes and make an impression but Troy Deeney thinks he could have a treacherous road ahead following his move to the Emirates Stadium.

Troy Deeney thinks Eberechi Eze will struggle to get into Arsenal’s team

Speaking on the latest episode of ‘The Football Exchange’ podcast, pundit Deeney believes that Eze will struggle to get a regular spot in Mikel Arteta’s side this season.

Wayne Rooney questioned why Eze didn’t start against Liverpool and Deeney thinks that may be a regular occurrence for the England star because of Arteta’s ‘rigid’ approach.

Deeney stated: “Eze is fantastic. I think getting him in the team is going to be harder than they imagine because he’s too stuck and rigid in his ways Arteta.”

Arsenal supporters will be desperate to see Eze start the upcoming clash with Nottingham Forest as they want to see their side releasing the shackles and playing in a more creative way.

The beauty of Eze’s signing is his versatility, the 27-year-old can feature from the left or in a more central position, therefore opportunities will present themselves throughout the campaign.

Arsenal haven’t paid £68m to sit Eberechi Eze on the bench

Andrea Berta has attacked the market this summer and Arsenal are not a club that pays £68m for a player to sit on the bench.

Roy Hodgson has hailed the signing of Eze having worked with the player during his managerial spell at Crystal Palace.

Mick McCarthy thinks Eze could win player of the season, which shows the calibre of player that Arsenal have signed.

Arteta is rigid in his approach, however, perhaps the signing of Eze is a signal that he is about to relinquish that control slightly this season and let his side be more expressive.
