Arsenal’s leading game is ‘fearing’ £42m

It is undeniable that this season has been a disappointment for Arsenal fans.

After winning the first Premier League title of their generation in two previous campaigns, it is hoped that, if no expectations, Mikel Arteta will lead the team this year.

Unfortunately, however, the damage caused, suspension and lack of frontier mix together, seeing the Gunners scored 10 points in the first place at Liverpool.

One of the most disappointing stars of the North Londoner is Gabriel Martinelli, who looks like a shadow of that star, who was terrified of the defender in 22/23 and, according to recent reports, could leave him completely losing his place in the team this summer.

Arsenal transfer news

As Arteta’s choice on the left failed to keep up with Bukayo Saka and Ethan Nwaneri on the right, it wasn’t surprising that a bunch of talented left-wingers associated with Arsenal, such as Rafael Leao and Antoine Semenyo, in recent weeks and months.

The former is undoubtedly one of Europe’s most exciting attackers, with his outstanding passes of 12 goals and 13 goals in 50 goals showing that his effect shows that although his release clause is reportedly worth £145 million, he may just be out of reach.

Semenyo, on the other hand, could spend £70m of the Gunners, and while that’s still a lot of money, he has proven his ability in the Premier League and is able to score 13 goals and seven assists in 42 games for Bournemouth this season.

However, as many other areas of the team still need to be addressed, North Londoners may want to spend more than the exciting up-and-coming Martinelli upgrade, which could be explained to Malik Fofana’s link.

Yes, Arsenal is one of several top flight teams interested in signing Lyon Gem this summer, according to a recent report from TeamTalk.

In fact, the report shows that along with Liverpool and Aston Villa, the Gunners are leading the 20-year-old star, with the French giants worth about £42 million.

Crossing this line can be a complex and somewhat expensive transfer, but given Fofana’s huge ability and potential, it’s a guy worth fighting for, especially since he’ll be doing a big upgrade on Martinelli.

Comparison between Fofana and Martinelli

Although Fofana occasionally stands out in the right and top-tier games in his short career, his main and unquestionably best position is left and right.

So his biggest competition for Arsenal next season – if he joins – would be Martinelli, but how does the couple compete with each other?

Well, in terms of raw output, it was the highest score for Lyon Ace, as he scored 11 goals in 41 games in total 2280 minutes and provided 6 assists this semester, averaging every 2.41 games or every 134.11 minutes.

By comparison, the former Ituano Gem scored ten goals and provided six assists in 51 games for a total of 3564 minutes, with an average of every 3.18 games or every 222.75 minutes.

OK, who stands out when we look at their base numbers under the hood?

Well, unfortunately for the Gunners 11th place, the comparison will only get more one-sided here, just like when he does better in some metrics, the young Belgian does better in the vast majority.

For example, what U23 scout Antonio Mango calls a “game-changing” prospect, performs much better in non-race goals as well as metrics such as assists, progressive passes and carry, passes, passes and crosses, etc.

Ultimately, according to Mango, the young man was also lucky with a “fearing speed and acceleration” so if the North Londoner was replaced on the left, the North Londoner wouldn’t have missed Martinelli’s disconnect potential.

Ultimately, Fofana may not be the biggest name at the moment, but he looks to be a superstar and has already started out better than Arsenal’s regular left.

Therefore, the club should do everything possible to sign him as soon as possible.
