The 22-year-old, while reflecting on how his career started revealed that London club, Arsenal released him

While speaking to Premier League Productions, Eze who signed for the Gunners before his 16th birthday said:

“I got scouted by a few clubs and that’s when I first went to Arsenal.

“At a young age, it was hard, especially being released. Me and my mum cried, everyone was so upset – that’s all you know at that age.

“But looking back at it now, that’s the start of my journey and I’m grateful to God that’s how it went. If it wasn’t for that, I may not have got the resilience, bravery, to go and be who I want to be elsewhere. It’s shaped me to be who I am today.”
