Arsenal's legend, Nigel Winterburn believes that Eberechi Eze can replace Gabriel Martinelli if the Gunners sign a contract with the superstar of Crystal Palace.
Arsenal had strong moves related to recruiting Eberechi Eze in the summer transfer window, and this player is said to want to move to the Emirates. Recently, Eze has been seen posing with Arsenal fans on social networks, he was also asked by a fan about joining Mikel Arteta's team after the Super Cup match.
Arsenal did not want to pay the £ 68 million price of Eze's contract, they were hoping to reach an agreement for a fee of about 55 million pounds. The Gunners feel that Eze's best position is when he plays at No. 10, but they also believe he can play on the left.

Rio Ferdinand has questioned Eze's position in Arsenal's starting lineup if he actually moved to Emirates, but Nigel Winterburn believed he would compete with Marinelli to win a regular position on the left wing. He said:
“I think he will suit Arsenal. Whether we can recruit him or not, I don't know. He is a player I think will change the match. He is a great player. Do I want him in the Arsenal squad? Of course I want it.
I don't know how much Arsenal left – maybe they had to sell one or two players first. But if I asked if I wanted him to come to Arsenal, I would say yes. He will compete with Martinelli.
All the players we are contacting are to strengthen the left wing. He can also play at No. 10 if Martin Odegaard needs to rest or have injuries. ”
