Arsenal Legend Patrick Vieira praises a £30 million Arsenal player for his stellar performance after the Dubai trip. This player, not Martinelli, Magalhaes, or Trosaard, showcased exceptional form, contributing significantly to Arsenal’s resounding 5-0 victory over Crystal Palace at the Emirates Stadium.
This win marked a notable comeback for Arsenal, breaking a series of defeats and a draw against Liverpool. The team, facing a challenging period, utilized the winter break for a warm-weather training camp in Dubai, and the positive impact of this break became evident in their outstanding display against Crystal Palace.
