After a long summer, Arsenal has finally kickstarted its fourth attempt to win the Premier League tomorrow afternoon.
It feels like it could be a competitive title race for a while, but thanks to summer business, Mikel Arteta’s side feels it’s a good fit to attack it head on.
Sports director Andrea Berta and his team have overseen six first team additions so far, and are undoubtedly Viktor Gyokeres, and if that’s not enough, they’re still linked to the sensational Eberechi Eze move.
But if Arsenal really wants to make a splash and complete a signature that is better than the Swedes and the British, they should come back for the players they linked earlier this summer.
Why Gyoker and Eze are game changers
There is always a lot of motivation behind every transfer, but it’s not difficult to resolve why Arsenal decided to blow £63.5 million with Gyokeres this summer. goal.
Gunners have been in need of a new goalscoring for the centre forward for a while, and it’s hard to think that many players are just as good as the Swedes when it comes to putting the ball behind the net.
For example, the Stockholm-born “Powerhouse,” dubbed by analyst Ben Matinson in just 52 appearances last season, scored an astounding 54 goals and provided 13 assists to Boot.
In other words, the 27-year-old international had an average involvement of 1.28 goals per game, or one per 63.40 minutes. This is frankly ridiculous.
There’s probably a little more about their interest in Eze.
For example, in addition to his great means of 25 goals involved in Crystal Palace’s 43 games last season, the former QPR Gem can play as the traditional number 10 or fill it out to the left.
Additionally, he has proven that the Premier League has demonstrated and has what it takes to step up to last season’s biggest game with the Eagles’ incredible FA Cup victory.
In short, Gyokeres is a great signature, and so is Eze, but if Arsenal wants to make a better purchase than both, they will have to go out and get the guy they’re linking to at the beginning of this summer, Bradley Barcola.
Why is Barcola a better signature than Gyokeres & Eze?
Reports promoting Barcola for the move to Arsenal appear to have disappeared in recent weeks, but he was temporarily linked to the club in June. Since then, the story claims that Paris Saint-Germain is cherishing him for £87 million.
So, if Berta goes out and gets a young Frenchman, why would he be a better signature than Gyoker and eze?
Well, the first argument comes down to this output. Despite his playing for the wing, the Lyon-born superstar, whom Mattinson called “one of Europe’s best LWS,” scored 21 goals in a total of 3,927 minutes last season, providing 21 assists.

This will be a sublime average of goal involvement every 1.52 games or every 93.5 minutes. This beats one Palace Star average every 1.72 games or every 132.12 minutes.
Now you may think that the number of French people is still pale compared to the Swedes, and that’s correct, but according to opta analysts, the Portuguese League is the eighth toughest in the world, so you need to consider the competition they play. At the same time, League 1 will be in the top five.
The second reason is that the “world-class” PSG Gem, dubbed by journalist Dougie Critchley, will sign what the team needs, as he spent 15 goals before his injury last season while the new striker was important.
In contrast, neither Gabriel Martinelli nor Leandro Torosad have been impressed from the left for a while, becoming a true weakness on the side.
Finally, this is important when it comes to team building and future success. The Champions League winner is only 22 years old. In contrast, the other two are both 27. This means that it may be less effective in 3-4 years compared to 8 or 9.
Ultimately, Gyokeres is a great signature, and Eze signs like that, but from his output to his position and age, we can’t help think that Barcola is the best addition to the lot.
