“I believed my skills would easily get the better of him last night, but to my surprise, he stunned me instead. It was only yesterday I truly understood what Mbappé once said about him,” Eberechi Eze reveals, naming the one Arsenal player who truly impressed him — and it’s neither Kiwior nor Saliba.

BREAKING NEWS: Eberechi Eze Names the One Arsenal Player Who Left Him Stunned — And It’s Not Kiwior or Saliba!

Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze has made a surprising revelation following his side’s encounter with Arsenal last night. The talented midfielder, known for his dribbling skills and flair on the ball, admitted he was left speechless by the performance of one particular Arsenal player — and it’s neither Jakub Kiwior nor William Saliba.

Speaking after the intense fixture, Eze confessed, “I thought I could easily beat him with my skills last night, but to my greatest surprise, he shocked me instead. It was yesterday that I truly confirmed what Mbappé said about him.”

Though Eze didn’t mention the player’s name outright in that moment, sources close to the Palace camp quickly confirmed that the player in question is none other than Arsenal’s rising star, Ben White.

Yes — the versatile defender, often praised for his composure and intelligence on the pitch, delivered another masterclass performance that left both fans and opponents alike in awe.

White, who has gradually grown into one of the most consistent defenders in the Premier League, kept Eze quiet for most of the evening and even contributed to Arsenal’s attacking transitions.

This isn’t the first time White has earned the admiration of high-profile players. Just a few months ago, PSG superstar Kylian Mbappé was quoted saying, “That boy at Arsenal is a warrior. He reads the game so well and makes it look so simple. He’s got a big future ahead of him.”

It now seems Eze has had his own firsthand experience of the defender’s quality. Social media has since been buzzing with reactions from both Arsenal and Palace fans alike, praising White for his composed and dominant display.

The Gunners secured a vital win in their push for the Premier League title, and while players like Bukayo Saka and Martin Ødegaard took the headlines for their goals, it was Ben White’s defensive brilliance that truly set the tone on the night.

As Arsenal continue their campaign, performances like these only add to the growing reputation of White as one of the best defenders in English football. And if both Mbappé and Eze are singing his praises, it’s clear the football world is starting to take serious notice.
