The ‘X-factor,’ according to ex-Arsenal player Paul Merson, is Eberechi Eze, who can lead the Gunners to the Premier League crown this year.
In the Premier League, Arsenal will face Chelsea on Sunday night with a two-point lead over Manchester City.
If Mikel Arteta’s team wins at the Emirates Stadium against Chelsea, they will have a chance to regain a five-point advantage.
“If Eze and Viktor Gyokeres can be 8 out of 10 every week, Arsenal will win the league,” Merson told Sky Sports, referring to the two players’ performance throughout the season.
We claimed Eze was the X Factor when he was purchased out at the beginning of the season. I still believe he has what it takes to lead them to victory, given Arteta’s faith in him and his performance on the pitch.
Eze, an English international who joined Arsenal from Crystal Palace a year ago, has had a remarkable impact for the North London team in the Premier League.
