Eberechi Eze has reportedly picked Marcus Rashford and Jurrien Timber as his most impressive teammates.
After failing to make the grade at the Emirates as a young player, Eze returned to Arsenal in a £60 million signing from Crystal Palace in the summer.
Having scored two goals in the last three Three Lions games, Eze is fighting for a spot in Thomas Tuchel’s World Cup team.
According to Football 365, Eze named Marcus Rashford as the England player who most impressed him on the Beast Mode podcast.

He said: “You know, training when you’re training somebody is always a bit different from when you play against them.
“I’d say my first session was Rashy [Marcus Rashford].
“So I’ve known him or known of him because he’s played in a similar age group. Across the country, when you go to tournaments, you see him and stuff like that.
“And so I’ve always known he’s a good player, but for that first camp, I remember going away like, okay, this guy’s part of some other stuff.”
On Timber
He added: “Everyone, sort of what you expect them to be, okay. And the expectation of all the players is high.
“I’ll say one player has gone even beyond the high expectation I already had because I’d heard good things about him, was Timbo [Jjurian Timber]. He’s a special player and a special guy.
“I think for me, in an environment of people and you have a culture that is geared towards improving, and these guys all want to improve.”
