Arsenal is a club that has been blessed with a wealth of true world-class players over the years.
The current sides include Bukayosaka and Declan Rice, then return to the final signing side in the Premier League. It is impossible to see past Thierry Henry, Patrick Vieira, Robert Pires and more.
But there’s another superstar in the club’s past that has many perspectives on wearing Dennis Bergkamp, the most technically talented player who wears red and white.
Therefore, fans should be excited about the report linking the club with players who can turn the club into Dutchman, not Mikel Arteta’s own version.
Arsenal is targeting their new Bergkamp
So far this year, it’s been a good summer for Arsenal. Because they won three other games and were extraordinarily busy in the market while they had two losses in the preseason.
New sports director Andrea Berta made six additions to the first team and signed the marquee with goalscoring for Viktor Gyoker and Midfield Maestro Martin Zubimendi.
But it was more than enough business for the gunners in the past summers, but now it appears to be trying to add at least one more to the team.
At least that’s according to a recent report from Ben Jacobs, who claims that Arsenal is still very interested in Ebebeki Eze.
Additionally, Jacobs revealed that Crystal Palace ace has accepted a move to Tottenham Hotspur, but he has been in discussion with Arteta and “welcomes Arsenal’s bid.”
It’s not entirely clear how much the weekly star will cost, as a report earlier this month claimed on Friday that his £68 million release clause would expire.
So, getting past the line can be costly and complicated transfers, but given Eze’s incredible abilities, he’s worth it, especially as he could be the club’s new Bergkamp.
Why Eze could become Arsenal’s new burgcump
So, I’m not saying that Bergkamp is as good a player as he was in his dignity, but it’s possible that he is, and it’s worth pointing out that the Palace Ace case has some similarities between their relocation or potential.
The first point is that if this move occurs, the 27-year-old British would join the gunner at a similar stage as the 26-year-old Dutch when they moved from Inter Milan to Highbury in 1995.
Furthermore, as his movement helped to signal the arrival of an incredible period of success for the people of North London, it feels like the Eagles star has the abilities and lacks a piece that will ultimately bring success to Arteta’s project.
However, apart from similar situations around the movement, the other important similarity between the two players is their immeasurable technical capabilities.
For example, when he was at his best, the Amsterdam-born maestro was a joy to see, someone who not only scored goals and provided assists, but also did something very great with the ball that often kept the fans silent.
The most famous example of this is undoubtedly his goal for Newcastle United, but there are many other examples when he made it seem unlikely in his time in England.
Now, we haven’t seen the previous QPR Gem score an equally epic goal at St. James Park yet, but he is one of the funniest players to see in England today and has a catalog of most strikes.

Plus, in addition to the incredible goals of scoring, the “superstar” attacker dubbed by analyst Ben Matinson, is also skilled at setting and completing key actions that lead to one of his teammates setting the goal.
Finally, after goals and assists, the most exciting thing a player can do is beat the opposing defender with the ball at his feet. That’s something that can be done easily by a Greenwich-born “magician” called Mika Richards.
According to FBREF, he is ranked in the top 10% of offensive midfielders and wingers due to his successful take-on in the Premier League last season.
Ultimately, Arsenal can turn to Arteta’s Berg Camp, so they should do everything they can to sign Eze this month.
