Arsenal are a membership which have been blessed with an abundance of genuinely world-class gamers over time.

Within the present aspect, you have got the likes of Bukayo Saka and Declan Rice, after which return to the final Premier League-winning aspect, and it is inconceivable to look previous the likes of Thierry Henry, Patrick Vieira and Robert Pirès.

Nonetheless, there’s one other celebrity from the membership’s previous that many view as probably the most technically gifted participant to put on the pink and white: Dennis Bergkamp.

So, followers must be enthusiastic about studies linking the membership with a participant who might turn into Mikel Arteta’s personal model of the Non-Flying Dutchman.

Arsenal goal their new Bergkamp

It has been a very good summer time for Arsenal to date this 12 months, as whereas they suffered two defeats in pre-season, they received their different three video games and have been unusually busy available in the market.

New Sporting Director Andrea Berta has made six additions to the primary crew, with goalscoring phenomenon Viktor Gyokeres and midfield maestro Martin Zubimendi the marquee signings.

Nonetheless, whereas that might have been greater than sufficient enterprise for the Gunners in summers previous, it now appears like they’re making an attempt to make not less than another addition to the crew, somebody who could possibly be the brand new Bergkamp.

Not less than that is in keeping with a current report from Ben Jacobs, who has claimed that Arsenal are nonetheless very a lot curious about Eberechi Eze.

Furthermore, Jacobs has revealed that whereas the Crystal Palace ace is open to a transfer to Tottenham Hotspur, he is been in talks with Arteta and would “welcome an Arsenal bid.”

It isn’t completely clear how a lot the £100k-per-week star would price, as studies from earlier this month claimed that his £68m launch clause is ready to run out on Friday.

It might due to this fact be a expensive and complex switch to recover from the road, however given Eze’s unimaginable skill, he’d be greater than price it, particularly as he could possibly be the membership’s new Bergkamp.

Why Eze could possibly be Arsenal’s new Bergkamp

So it is price declaring that we aren’t essentially saying Eze is nearly as good a participant as Bergkamp was throughout his pomp, however he could possibly be, and on prime of that, there are some similarities between their transfers, or potential within the Palace ace’s case.

The primary level is that, ought to this transfer occur, the 27-year-old Englishman could be becoming a member of the Gunners at the same stage in his profession to the Dutchman, who was 26 when he moved to Highbury from Inter Milan in 1995.

Furthermore, as his transfer helped to usher in a interval of unimaginable success for the North Londoners, it additionally feels just like the Eagles star has the flexibility and could possibly be that lacking piece that lastly brings success to Arteta’s mission.

Nonetheless, away from the same circumstances across the strikes, the opposite key similarity between the 2 gamers is their immense technical talents.

For instance, when he was at his greatest, the Amsterdam-born maestro was a pleasure to observe, somebody who would not simply rating a purpose or present an help, however do one thing so totally sensible with the ball at his ft that might typically go away followers speechless.

Essentially the most well-known instance of this could undoubtedly be his purpose in opposition to Newcastle United, however there are such a lot of different cases throughout his time in England when he’d make the unbelievable appear blasé.

Now, whereas we’re but to see the previous QPR gem rating a purpose fairly as spectacular as that one at St James’ Park, he stays probably the most entertaining gamers to observe in England right this moment and has a list of strikes most might solely dream of.

Furthermore, on prime of scoring surprise objectives, the “celebrity” attacker, as dubbed by analyst Ben Mattinson, is simply as proficient at setting them up or finishing the essential motion that results in considered one of his teammates organising a purpose.

Lastly, after objectives and assists, probably the most thrilling factor a participant can do is beat an opposition defender with the ball at their ft, and that is one thing the Greenwich-born “magician,” as dubbed by Micah Richards, can do with ease.

In line with FBref, he ranks within the prime 10% of attacking midfielders and wingers for profitable take-ons within the Premier League final season.

In the end, even when it is a expensive and complex switch to recover from the road, Arsenal must be doing all they will to signal Eze this month, as he might flip into Arteta’s Bergkamp.
