Mikel Arteta insists he is ‘very happy’ with Eberechi Eze’s performances after Arsenal’s 1-0 win against Fulham.

Eze is yet to score and has registered two assists in six Premier League appearances for Arsenal following his £68 million move from Crystal Palace in the summer transfer window.

The 27-year-old struggled to make an impact at Craven Cottage on Saturday night and was replaced in the 62nd minute as Leandro Trossard’s goal in the second half sealed the victory for Mikel Arteta’s side.

Eze is capable of playing in multiple positions and in the absence of MartinOdegaard, who is sidelined with a knee injury until mid-November, Arteta has indicated that the England international will continue to be used in different areas in Arsenal’s attack.

When asked about Eze’s display against Fulham, Arteta said: ‘He’s more used to attacking open spaces and breaks and facing and carrying the ball with space in front of him, he’s so good and comfortable doing that.
