Officially recruited on Saturday from Crystal Palace, against around 70 million euros, Eberechi Eze faces a major challenge. The 27 -year -old English international attacking midfielder recovered the number 10 formerly carried by the team engineering, Dennis Bergkamp, ​​who inherited this symbol jersey as soon as he arrived at the Gunners in 1995. After the Dutch striker's departure in the summer of 2006, it was a certain William Gallas who played with number 10!
Arrived free from Chelsea, the central defender revealed to OM worn on 10 during his four seasons in northern London! Rather discreet, especially with English journalists, Gallas left the supporters of the brand new Emirates Stadium in the most total misunderstanding. Even if it was anecdotal enough.

After his career, William Gallas said in The locker room On RMC Sport, which he wanted to evolve with number 13 in Arsenal, a number which was already taken by Aleksandr Hleb. He then proposed to Arsène Wenger to take over the 10 of Bergkamp, ​​who was a younger offensive player.
Fabregas makes Gallas happy …
In reality, Wenger then preferred to see Gallas carry the number of the Idol Bergkamp in order to remove any pressure from an attacking player bearing the new number 10. That summer, two offensive circles signed in Arsenal, but Tomas Rosicky took the 7 of Robert Pires and Julio Baptista on José Antonio Reyes.
Above all, the Cesc Fabregas prodigy preferred to go from 15 to 4, while the boss of the Gilberto Silva team kept his 19. The attackers Emmanuel Adebayor and Robin Van Persie (who will take the 10 at the start of Gallas) could also have pretended to 10, but we kept their respective number, 11 for the Batavian left -hander and the 25 for the Togolese hack. After Van Persie, Arsenal had Jack Wilshere, Mesut Ă–zil and Emile Smith-Rowe in number 10.
