Summary
Amy Lawrence and Adrian Clarke join Ian Stone to reflect on Eberechi Eze’s unveiling as an Arsenal player before the 5-0 demolition of Leeds in the first match at the Emirates this season.
The panel chat about their favourite parts of Arsenal’s heartwarming announcement of Eze’s signing and his fantastic reception at the Emirates, and they pay tribute to Ian Wright including how lucky we are to have him as an ambassador with calls for a long overdue statue.
They also discuss Jurrien Timber's stellar performance and his importance in the team, the Victor Gyökeres’s show and his first goals for the Arsenal, and the debut of Max Dowman at 15 years old.
Plus the Ødegaard and Saka injuries, the atmosphere at the Emirates and remaining transfer activity.
Producer: Robby Williams
