Gabriel Jesus is someone that brings that much needed clinical-ity upfront and his arrival with likes of Martin Odegaard and the arrival of Fabio Vieira opens Mikel Arteta a diverse dynamic of getting the ball in the six-yard box. Jesus is known to make those runs in-behind defence – mainly bisecting the centre-backs to get some breathing space right in front of the goal and is an ever-present runner on the far-post when the possession is laid through to the wide areas in zone 13 & 15 of the pitch, this is where someone like Fabio Vieira can play his pass and help the Gunners’ get an instant threat on goal without any high risk and yet with a highly probable reward.
Eddie Nketiah staying is also a big coup for the Gunners faithful that many seem to under-state. The progress he showed in the pre-season last year and then the manner in which he carried that into the season, especially the later parts means that Arsenal have a more-physical lad upfront who is as hungry but gives a different style of offensive opportunities. Eddie is developing into someone like Victor Osimhen.
Arsenal have a lot to look forward to next season, and the tip of that is the new striking force that Mikel has assembled at London Colney. One that is going to bring lots of excitement to Arsenal over the years.
