They don’t hit the heights they went to at Highbury, but Arsenal has been blessed with a wealth of incredible players since moving to the Emirates 20 years ago.
For example, things like Bucayo Saka, Declan Rice, William Saliba and Gabriel Magalja would not be on par with some of the club’s best players.
Moreover, even in Arsène Wenger’s later years, fans and the entire Premier League were treated to genuine Mercurial talents such as MesutÖzil and Santi Cazorla.
But as for the best attackers that Emirates fans have undoubtedly had the pleasure of seeing, it is hard to see past the power of nature, Alexis Sanchez.
Therefore, fans should be excited that the club appears to be about to sign someone who could become the version of Chilean Mikel Arteta.
Attackers who change the Arsenal target game
Enhancing the rest of the team is a wise move from Arsenal, but it goes without saying that adding goals to the side will be one priority.
So the story of signing Eberechi Eze for around £60 million makes perfect sense. He’s not necessarily an attacker, but because the Crystal Palace star scored 25 goals of involvement in 43 games last season.
Similarly, fans may not be happy with the link to Noni Maduke, but last season there were reasonable returns of 11 goals and five assists in the 2449th minute.
However, both players are likely to improve North London’s overall offense, but the Eagles star is not expected to have the same impact as when Alexis joined the club.
Yes, according to a recent report from Mullet, Arsenal remains determined to sign the Sports CP star, as it was broadcast through Spanish media.
More than that, the report reveals that, in principle, an agreement has been reached, as it is at a very high level of consultation between the two sides.
The report claims Gunner is expected to pay an initial fee of €65 million, while the add-on should have a final price worth around £69 million to around €80 million.
It’s a lot of money to spend on one player, but Gyoker has proven that such a fee is worth it and was able to develop into Arteta’s own Alexis.
Why Gyoker becomes Arteta’s Alexis
So, to keep them out of the way right away, there is one big, inevitable difference between Gyoker and Alexis: their position.
The former is, at his best, a devastatingly effective winger, while the latter is an out-of-the-road striker, but that doesn’t matter.
Our argument is not that Swedish international recreates Chile’s exact playing style, but that he can come in and have a similar impact on the club.

For example, in his first campaign with the Emirates, the former Barcelonian star was nothing more than a game-changing game. In the end, he bagged an absurd tally of 25 goals and 12 assists in 52 appearances.
He then followed it with 17 goals and 10 assists in 41 games the following season.
When he finally left the club, the Tokopira-born Dynamo scored a massive operation of 80 goals and 44 assists in 166 games.
Interestingly, looking at his highlights reveals that it is a combination of technical skills and pure determination that has led him to score so many goals.
Currently, the former Coventry City star may not have the technique of the 36-year-old, but he definitely has the same brutal resolve for his game.
Respected analyst Ben Matinson claims that one of Sweden’s greatest strengths is “his mentality,” and that he is “obsessed with the goal of scoring,” so we shouldn’t look at what we say.
We’ve also seen this single mind make things happen from the pitch, but a report came out earlier this week claiming he’s trying to give up his salary of around 2 million euros to make this move.
Finally, the Stockholm-born “monster” called Matinson, who is a source of power with the former Emirates star, can take a look at the game with the neck, apart from psychoanalysis.

For example, in 52 appearances in Lisbon outfits last season, he scored 54 mammoth goals and provided 13 assists in total in 4,248 minutes.
That is, international poachers remained engaged with 1.28 goals per game or 1.28 goals per 63.40 minutes.
Ultimately, Gyoker may not be as technical as Alexis, but thanks to the weight of his resolve and the number of goals he can score, there are all the opportunities that the Chilean could have on Arteta about what Wenger was.
