Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand stated that Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta will never regret acquiring Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace.
The Englishman believes that the Arsenal boss will be "thanking God" for making that particular transfer a reality.
Eze joined Arsenal during the last transfer window in a deal valued at approximately £67.5 million.
The Gunners have surpassed Liverpool at the top of the English Premier League table as they head into the October international break.
This achievement followed Mikel Arteta's team securing a 2-0 victory over West Ham and Liverpool experiencing consecutive losses.
Arsenal made several signings over the summer, which has enabled them to continue performing well despite facing injury challenges.
While speaking on his Rio Presents podcast, Ferdinand praised the depth of the Arsenal squad and highlighted Eze's contributions.
“I think Mikel Arteta is sitting there saying, ‘Thank God we went and got [Eberechi] Eze. Thank God that the board supported me and I’ve got a ready-made replacement in Eze’,” Ferdinand remarked.
“Because I don’t believe he would have placed [Ethan] Nwaneri or [Max] Dowman in that position.”
“I think he can utilize both [Eze and Odegaard] at times. But it’s a fantastic issue to have.”
Due to the quality of their signings last summer, many consider the Gunners to be the favorites to win the Premier League.
