Eberechi Eze

Key strength: Vision and passing

Creative playmaker

Wearing the iconic number 10 shirt for Arsenal, Eberechi Eze has emerged as the creative heartbeat of a side perched atop the Premier League—though their recent stuttering form (DWLDL in the last five) has tested their title mettle. The 27-year-old England international has been a near-constant presence, racking up 44 appearances and 2,785 minutes of influential football this season. His return of 9 goals and 6 assists only tells part of the story; what truly sets Eze apart is his remarkable discipline—just a solitary yellow card across the entire campaign speaks to a player who combines silk-smooth dribbling with rare tactical intelligence. Valued at €69.3 million, the former Crystal Palace talisman thrives as the creative fulcrum alongside Martin Ødegaard and Viktor Gyökeres in Mikel Arteta's possession-dominant system. With his vision and passing mastery (80 rated), Eze's playmaking brilliance may yet prove decisive as the Gunners fight to maintain their summit position and reclaim their first Premier League crown in two decades.
