Eberechi Eze vows to block outside noise as Arsenal aim to silence doubters
Eze insists he does not care how rival fans feel about Arsenal as the Gunners look to end their trophy drought
Eberechi Eze has issued a defiant message to rival fans, stating he is unconcerned by their desire for Arsenal to falter and urging them to "deal with that" when the Gunners eventually end their trophy drought. Arsenal have faced accusations of "bottling" their silverware aspirations, with their pursuit of four trophies this season now narrowed to two. Manchester City currently sit six points behind in the Premier League title race, with a game in hand, having capitalised on Arsenal’s unexpected defeat by Bournemouth with a commanding 3-0 victory over Chelsea.
During the match at Stamford Bridge, a City supporter was seen taunting Arsenal by pretending to drink from an Arsenal-branded bottle, a clear jab at their rivals' recent near-misses. Responding to claims that other fans wish to see Arsenal stumble, Eze remained unperturbed. "I don’t care.
I’m not too interested in what people think, and how they feel about us winning," he stated. "I just know that we’ve got a team that’s more than capable and has proven we’re of the highest level. And when we do win, it will be down to everyone to deal with that.

That has been the main message, to focus on what we are doing, and letting go of all the noise outside.
