ARSENAL star Eberechi Eze has revealed how rarely-seen wife Izuthe Mulatto is key to his success.
The midfielder, 27, has played 25 times since his £67.5million move from Crystal Palace last summer.
Eze’s role as a quality squad option has been integral to Arsenal’s latest title charge.
And with the Gunners six points clear, they are in a good position to finally clinch glory after several years of disappointment.
Eze has contributed five goals and four assists as Arsenal continue to fight in the Carabao Cup, FA Cup and Champions League.
But the 16-time England international, who looks a shoe-in for this summer’s World Cup squad, reckons none of it would be possible without having wife Izuthe by his side.
The pair have been together for seven years after confirming their relationship on Instagram in 2019.
Eze and Izuthe had already known each other since they were teenagers.
And they have been inseparable ever since.
Although Izuthe prefers to keep out of the limelight, the couple have shared several moments of their relationship online, including several snaps from holidays.

They got married on May 27, 2022, surrounded by close friends and family.
And Eze confirmed the big day by sharing a photo with the caption: “Love is patient, love is kind.”
Reflecting on his marriage to Izuthe, Eze told Prime Video ahead of Arsenal’s European clash with Inter Milan: “I’ve been blessed with a special wife. I’m grateful to have her.
“She definitely keeps me grounded, keeps me normal.
“Without her I don’t know what type of person I’d be.
“To be able to be rooted and have firm foundations, that allows me to enjoy football even more, and to express myself even more.”
