Arteta produces new priority signature for £50m winger Arsenal

Transferring mania is really good here now, and it looks like it will be a busy summer for Arsenal.

The windows have not even officially opened, and Mikel Arteta is reportedly closing down Real Sociedad’s impressive signing.

But while Espanyol will undoubtedly improve the team, the area of ​​the team that needs to be strengthened is the attack, whether in the middle or on the left.

One of the names associated with the Gunners in the past few days is Bayern Munich star Leroy Sané, who will offer it for free, but according to recent reports, the board has now identified another international position as a priority for the position, a better signing person.

Arsenal’s winger search

While Arsenal’s right side looks years, thanks to Bukayo Saka and young Ethan Nwaneri, the future on the left is even more uncertain, which has brought the club to link with Daizen Maeda and Jamie Gittens in recent weeks and months with several very talented wingers in the months.

The former may not be the name on many wish lists, but he may have been a steal as he reportedly made only 51 appearances this season, with the Japanese International scoring 33 goals and providing 12 assists, a sensational one with goals per 1.13 games participating.

Gittens, on the other hand, costs about £46m but isn’t that prolific, putting out 12 goals and five assists in 48 games, but since he’s still only 20, the club will buy him something.

But, North Londoner Nico Williams, who started last summer, followed another name.

According to the latest report from Mail Online, Arsenal has maintained a strong interest in the Athletic Bilbao star and has made him a “priority” target for the left-wing position.

The story doesn’t mention a price, but countless reports over the past few weeks and months have confirmed that the 22-year-old Dynamo has £50 million release clauses in his current contract.

Crossing this line would be an expensive transfer, but Williams proved that he was one of the most exciting attackers around and he would be better at supplementing the team than sane.

How Williams compares to reason

So, although in fact both internationals can play on either wing, it is impossible to replace Saka on the right, so if Arsenal only signs one of them to the left and right, who should it be, and who should it be?

Well, if we start with the raw production that we’ve started in the last two seasons, it’s Williams taking the lead.

For example, since the 23/24 campaign began, journalist Zach Lowy called what he called “world-class” Espanyol, has scored 19 goals and provided 25 assists in 82 games, with an excellent average goal participation in every 1.86 games.

By comparison, Sane scored 23 goals in 87 games and provided 19 assists in 87 games, which is undoubtedly still impressive, but the average participation rate of goals per 2.07 games is poor.

What about their basic figures in the past two seasons? Which winger stands out when we look under the hood?

Unfortunately for the former Manchester City star, it’s once again his young rival, who wins the championship here, just like in the most relevant metrics, he sets off.

These indicators include but are not limited to non-racing goals, assists, goals and shots per shot, entry into the free throw area, shooting and goal action, tackle, obstacles, successful violin, hitting, ball recovery, and more.

Finally, besides having better output and potential numbers, it is important to remember that the Pamplona-born Ace was also a seven-year-old German junior, so there is a chance, and in fact, that he will only get better in the next few campaigns.

By contrast, as he will turn 30 in the middle of next season, it is no surprise to see the Bayern star start to retreat in the next few years.

Ultimately, while Williams and Sense are great players, the former has obvious developments and potentially further developments, so Arsenal should do everything possible to sign him this summer.
