On 16 Feb 2026 GMT+7, Miguel Arteta, the Spanish manager, disclosed the status of Eberechi Aze, the talented English attacking player of Nigerian descent, in the "Gunners" Arsenal squad, a top team in the English Premier League. His final statement said it all.
Looking back to last summer, Arsenal reached an agreement to sign Eberechi Aze, a 27-year-old English international attacker, from fellow Premier League rivals Crystal Palace in August 2025 for a total fee including options of £67.5 million (approximately 2.855 billion baht) on a 4+1 year contract.

Recently, Miguel Arteta spoke about Eberechi Aze: "He (Eberechi Aze) already plays a very important role in the team. He has appeared in many games for us, and of course, he will continue to play in many more matches. Players like him need this kind of time, especially creative players. They need to feel that they are creating those moments."
