Arsenal currently stands 'at the top' of the Premier League

Eberechi Eze is quietly becoming a standout player for Arsenal, leading many key attacking metrics in the Premier League and demonstrating his value as a major summer signing.

Arsenal’s recent summer transfer window is regarded as one of the most successful under coach Mikel Arteta. Sporting director Andrea Berta secured several quality players, enhancing not only the squad’s depth but also elevating the overall playing style.

According to DataMB, on a per 90-minute basis, Eze currently tops the Premier League in key attacking stats such as expected goals and expected assists excluding penalties.

He also ranks among the top three attacking midfielders for shots, shots on target, and dribble frequency. Additionally, Eze is second in chances created and has over 100 touches, reflecting his creativity, work rate, and influence within Arsenal’s attacking system.

Remarkably, this form comes amid Arsenal’s disciplined style of play, focusing on ball control and producing fewer high-scoring games. Eze still manages to leave his mark through ball retention, evading pressure, and creating opportunities for teammates, establishing himself as the true playmaker in Arsenal’s midfield.

Compared to his time at Crystal Palace, Eze has shown clear improvement in performance. Last season, he contributed to 16 goals (8 goals and 8 assists), his career-best so far. Wearing the Arsenal jersey, with higher-quality teammates and a more stable attacking system, the English star could easily surpass that personal record.

Among those signings, Eberechi Eze stands out as one of the most effective, even though he hasn’t been widely highlighted by the media.

Joining Arsenal from Crystal Palace, Eze quickly adapted and became an indispensable part of Arteta’s tactical setup. Although he has only directly contributed to three goals in eight Premier League matches, deeper statistics reveal he is performing at a much higher level than the raw numbers suggest.

Eze’s excellence is not only measured by statistics but also by how he influences the game. His intelligent football mind, smooth technique, and ability to control the tempo make him a creative spearhead any team would desire.

Though not as flashy as some bigger names, Eberechi Eze is quietly becoming Arsenal’s creative soul. If he maintains this form, he could not only help the London club win the Premier League title but also establish himself as one of the most complete and exciting attacking midfielders in Europe today.
