Eberechi Eze reveals the 'high-level thinker' who was his toughest Premier League opponent ever

Eberechi Eze has named Manchester City legend Kevin De Bruyne as the toughest opponent he faced in the Premier League.

The 34-year-old ended a trophy-laden decade in Manchester, where he won six Premier League titles, two FA Cups and the Champions League, in the summer and left the Etihad for Serie A champions Napoli.

Eze, who joined Premier League leaders Arsenal from Crystal Palace during the window, reflected on his battles with the Belgian and admitted the midfielder often operated several steps ahead of everyone else.
