Former England international Peter Crouch has disclosed that Ebere Eze is yet to fulfill his potential at Arsenal.
Recall that Eze joined the Gunners from Crystal Palace last summer and has struggled to replicate his impressive form this ongoing season.
Speaking after Arsenal’s 1-1 draw against Brentford in Thursday’s Premier League, Crouch described Eze as a “passenger” who failed to make the most of this chance to impress.
“I believe he hadn’t started in the last nine or something like that, so he got a start today, and you think ‘right go and impress,” Crouch told TNT Sports.

“Unfortunately he just felt off the boil, he couldn’t get on the ball in the first-half. It was difficult for Arsenal in general.
“I felt for him. And he doesn’t give you what Odegaard gives you in pressing, and he doesn’t affect it when he hasn’t got the ball.
“He was a bit of a passenger, if I’m being honest, we called it half an hour in that he was going to come off because for some reason it feels at the moment he (Arteta) doesn’t fancy him.
“That is going to damage his England’s chances.”
