Gary Neville urges Mikel Arteta to start Eze over Tzolis for Chelsea clash

Gary Neville has urged Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta to consider starting Eberechi Eze over summer signing Christos Tzolis for the upcoming Premier League match against Chelsea.

Tzolis, who joined the club from Club Brugge for £34 million, was substituted at half-time during Arsenal’s recent 1-0 victory against Aston Villa after struggling against defender Matty Cash. While Tzolis had a strong start to his Arsenal career, including performances in the Community Shield and against Coventry City, Neville noted that the winger appeared to be ‘struggling’ during the Villa match.

Neville suggested that Eze, who impressed significantly after being introduced as a substitute at Villa Park, deserves a starting role in the high-stakes clash at the Emirates. He noted that Eze possesses more Premier League experience and strength, which could be vital for the Gunners as they compete for the top of the standings.
