Walcott: Eze will definitely improve Arsenal s strength, but the annual transfer risk of World Cup is too high

August 13th Arsenal is pursuing Crystal Palace winger Eze. Gunners' former player Walcott "advises" Eze that one season before the World Cup, you must be cautious in making transfer decisions.

Walcott said: "If Eze had a great season at Crystal Palace, he could go to the World Cup, and I'm very sure about that, what will other teams think of him then? If I were Eze, I would choose to stay because it was the World Cup year. If not, I might choose to transfer. These opportunities may not come again, so it's the risk that the players have to take.

"But for me, the World Cup year is very important and I don't think the lawns of other teams are always greener. I appreciate Eze's current way of playing football at Crystal Palace, and if he went to Arsenal, the situation would be very different. I believe Eze can improve Arsenal's strength by 100%, but I think the World Cup year is a very critical factor for many players. ”
