According to Silvestre, the main reason for his advice is the intense competition for playing time at Arsenal. Eze has reportedly had a £68 million release clause in his contract, which expired on August 1st. Despite this, Arsenal have yet to make an official offer for the 27-year-old.

Silvestre expressed his admiration for Eze's abilities, highlighting his joy and freedom at Crystal Palace. However, he emphasized that the competition for places at Arsenal would make it challenging for Eze to establish himself in the team.

Silvestre also mentioned Eze's history of muscle injuries, which has led to him missing parts of the season. Nevertheless, he praised Eze as a top player when he is fit and ready to play.
