Michael Olise has been watching all of Eberechi Eze’s Arsenal games and providing feedback

Bayern Munich attacker Michael Olise has been watching all of Eberechi Eze’s Arsenal games and providing feedback since his summer move to the Emirates Stadium club, according to the Sun. Eze left Crystal Palace to join Arsenal in a £67.5 million deal and is starting to show why Gunners manager Mikel Arteta badly wanted him. The 27-year-old England international forward has five goals and four assists in 17 appearances for the North Londoners so far.

Eze was in fine form when Arsenal took on Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, becoming the fourth player in history to score a hat-trick in the North London derby. He followed the performance with an assist in the 3-1 victory over Bayern last night and his former Palace teammate Olise was confident it was only a matter of time before the assists and goals came. Both players have kept in touch since leaving the Eagles, and they met in London during the last international break.

They caught up and debriefed on how things are going for Eze at Arsenal, and the attacker has hit the ground running since action resumed. The Gunners are back in action on Sunday when they visit Stamford Bridge to play Chelsea, and the former Palace star will be looking forward to the match. He has taken time to get to grips with manager Mikel Arteta’s tactical demands given that the Spaniard’s instructions involve plenty of messages. Eze has had to learn and unlearn at Arsenal, and having the support of Olise as he adapts to life at a new club has been beneficial.

He rejected Spurs to return to the Gunners having played for them as a schoolboy, and it has proven to be a smart decision so far.
