The dream will come true! After 20 years, Eze still retains the first set of Gunners jerseys; after termination of the contract, he hid in the room and cried bitterly
Daily Mail wrote an article about the details of Eze's transfer to Arsenal, and revealed that the player burst into tears after being terminated by the Gunners 14 years ago and hid in the room and cried.
The article said that in 2006, 8-year-old Eze was discovered by Arsenal scouts, and he also traveled from South London to Arsenal youth training camp. The team coach was Wenger at that time, and Eze's favorite player was Henry.
When Eze got his first jersey, it was printed with the team hero in his mind. Eze's jersey sleeves were also long-sleeved like Henry's. This jersey is of great significance to Eze, and his parents still retain it for him nearly 20 years later.
But football is like this, with very few fairy tales. Five years later, 13-year-old Eze was told to terminate the contract by the academy manager (the manager may have regretted it 68 million times). The reason given was that the players were not defending well, and Eze hid in the bedroom and burst into tears. Now, Eze returns to North London after 14 years and joins Arsenal for £67.5 million.
