'My dream was to play for Arsenal' - Premier League man says he 'cried' for the Gunners

Crystal Palace's Eberechi Eze has admitted he had 'cried' as a youngster when Arsenal released him. Eze has shared that it was a 'dream' to him to play for the Gunners, before he was released by the club at 13. Speaking to Rising Ballers, the 23-year-old Palace star told what he went thorugh during his early career years.

“Started off at Arsenal, I think I was eight,” said Eze.   “I got released when I was 13. I went to Fulham. From there I went to Reading. Then got released from there    “Bare rejections. A lot of rejections. Then went to Millwall having to then try and prove yourself again, which is difficult. It didn’t work out and I got released from there.    “Arsenal was probably the hardest. My dream was to play for them. Hearing them say ‘no’ at 13 was tough. I remember training after I got released and I couldn’t focus because I was crying.    “But it helped me so much in all the other rejections because, if I can get through Arsenal releasing me, then I can get through any other team releasing me.”
