Merson names Eze as Arsenal's X-factor for Premier League title

Former Arsenal star Paul Merson has identified Eberechi Eze as the 'X-factor' that could help Arsenal win the Premier League title this season. The Gunners are currently two points ahead of Manchester City in the Premier League table ahead of their crucial clash with Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday evening. Merson told Sky Sports that Eze, alongside Viktor Gyokeres, is key to Arsenal's title hopes: 'These two hit fire until the end of the season, Arsenal win the league if they can go and be 8 out of 10 every week.' He added that Eze, who joined Arsenal from Crystal Palace last year, was the 'X Factor' from the start and remains crucial as long as Arteta trusts him. Eze's impressive performances for the North London club have been vital to Arsenal's title challenge.
