Eberechi Eze is facing pressure to continue his strong vein of form for Arsenal in the wake of his \u201cstunning\u201d hattrick against Tottenham.<\/strong><\/p>\n That is according to former Man United and Blackburn chief scout Mick Brown<\/a>, who remains very well-connected within the game, as he exclusively told Football Insider<\/strong> that the 27-year-old must be consistent to establish himself under Mikel Arteta<\/a>.<\/p>\n Arsenal beat Tottenham 4-1<\/a> in the North London derby, with Eze taking home the match ball as his side extended their lead at the top of the league to six points.<\/p>\n His goals were made sweeter by the fact Eze turned down Tottenham to join Arsenal<\/a>, and he has now established himself as a fan-favourite at the Emirates.<\/p>\n However, he must build on his performance over the coming weeks if he is to help fire Arteta\u2019s side to winning the major silverware they are targeting.<\/p>\n Brown told Football Insider<\/strong> in July that there were doubts over Eze\u2019s move to Arsenal<\/a> and whether he could be consistent enough to justify his price tag.<\/p>\n The former scout, who has a wealth of experience in top-level player recruitment after over a decade at Man United during their most successful period, has insisted he must now build on his strong start at the Emirates after gaining the love of the supporters.<\/p>\n MORE FOOTBALL INSIDER STORIES<\/p>\n \u201cIt was a stunning performance against Tottenham,\u201d he told Football Insider.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cBut I think that brings a little bit of pressure with it, because he\u2019s not a nearly-man any more, he is the man for Arsenal, and he has to continue to show that.<\/p>\n \u201cHe now can\u2019t afford to drift through games playing it safe and doing a bit here and there.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s now set the standard, everybody knows what he\u2019s capable of and he showed that against Tottenham, and now the challenge is to keep that going.<\/p>\n \u201cObviously, scoring a hattrick against your biggest rivals will earn you the love of the fans, it\u2019s something they\u2019re not going to forget for years to come.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \u201cBut in terms of the here and now, with Arsenal challenging for trophies, Eze has got to build on that performance and continue making progress.<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s what the real elite players can do, and it was a concern I had about him coming from Palace, whether he could be that player, but now is his chance to prove it.\u201d<\/p>\n Arsenal plan for busy January window amid title push<\/p>\n While Eze has been called upon to replicate his recent performances and aid Arsenal\u2019s push for silverware, they have also set their sights on further additions to the squad.<\/p>\n Football Insider<\/strong> revealed on 22 November that Arsenal are poised to move for Kenan Yildiz<\/a> after the Juventus forward\u2019s contract talks stalled in Turin.<\/p>\n The Turkey international is primarily a wide forward but can play across the front three and would be seen as a major coup if the Gunners could land his signature.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Football Insider<\/strong> revealed on 21 November that Arsenal have joined the race for Nathaniel Brown, the highly-rated Eintracht Frankfurt left-back.<\/p>\n Brown<\/a>\u00a0has emerged as one of the Bundesliga\u2019s top prospects in the last 18 months, and has also attracted interest from the likes of Man United and Man City.<\/p>\n For more Arsenal and exclusive news, follow us
