Arsenal are reportedly in talks over a deal for Crystal Palace attacker Eberechi Eze, who was also linked to Tottenham.
The Gunners are looking to add more flair and firepower in attack this summer as Mikel Arteta aims to build a squad capable of winning the Premier League title.
They are set to sign a striker, with Sporting CP star Viktor Gyokeres the current frontrunner. But on top of that Arsenal have also been linked to several wingers, who can help create chances for whichever striker they sign.
One such name is Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze, who is reportedly in talks with Arsenal over a move. It has also been said that he is very open to a move to the Emirates, making a deal look more and more likely.
Last season, Eze scored 14 goals and provided 11 assists. He also helped Palace to their first ever FA Cup title. We decided to ask Chat GPT how Eze w0uld perform season on season if he joined Arsenal, this is what is predicted…
2025/26 – ‘Adaptation phase’
Goals: 12
Assists: 11
In his first season as a Gunner, AI predicted that Eze would start as he left off at Palace, scoring 12 goals and providing 11 assists.
It is a decent starting tally, and certainly a return that would please most Arsenal fans if he was to come in and contribute with those sorts of numbers in all competitions.
2026/27 – ‘Breakout year’
Goals: 14
Assists: 13
Aged 28, the 2026/27 season is expected to be a massive year for the England star, improving upon the previous year by two goals and two assists.
These numbers alongside the impact of a true number nine, and the likes of Bukayo Saka, and a developed Ethan Nwaneri could spell danger for other Premier League clubs.
2027/28 – ‘Peak phase’
Goals: 20
Assists: 17
A career year for Eze in his third season with the Gunners, with a total of 37 goal contributions over the course of the season, this is Premier League Player of the Season territory for sure.
Aged 29, a season like this could see Eze boost Arsenal’s chances of not only winning the Premier League, but also the likes of the Champions League and FA Cup too!
2028/29 and 2029/30 – ‘Sustained excellence’
Goals: 10 each year
Assists: 9 each year
As we get to Eze’s 30s, AI predicted the exact same season for his fourth and fifth year as a Gunner, with 10 goals and nine assists in each season.
It also suggested that as he matures more and more, he could begin to focus more on creativity and quality of assists rather than sheer numbers of goals, which could really benefit Arsenal’s number nine.
