By the way, he scored just 46 goals and provided 38 assists in 141 games for Barcelona.<\/p>\n<p>Sanchez&#8217;s final Premier League season at the Emirates was particularly impressive, with him playing primarily on the left flank, scoring 24 goals and providing a further 10 assists.<\/p>\n<p>None of Arsenal&#8217;s left-sided wingers have come this close to a return since Sanchez&#8217;s departure, as Trossard and Martinelli&#8217;s mixed fortunes have proven once again this season, but all that could change if a deal is struck for Kvaratschelia.<\/p>\n<p>Just this week, the former Napoli hero put in a breathtaking performance when PSG took on Liverpool in the Champions League, allowing Kvaratschelia to score his team&#8217;s second goal of the night with some wonderfully composed footwork inside the area.<\/p>\n<p>As match-winners go, he has left his best work for this season&#8217;s European stage and is at his best, already scoring 12 goals and assisting in just 12 games in the competition so far.<\/p>\n<p>His record against Premier League sides has also been particularly outstanding, with three goals in the recent last-16 clash with Chelsea and a shock goal against Aston Villa en route to last year&#8217;s victory under Luis Enrique.<\/p>\n<p>    Quick-footed and with a devastating end product to match, &#8216;Cuballadona&#8217; is exactly what his name suggests, a joy to watch in full flow, and possesses Sanchez&#8217;s flair for single-handedly winning matches with his innate magic.<\/p>\n<p>In the 2016\/17 season, for example, Sanchez&#8217;s excellence was reflected not only in his 34 goals and assists, but also in his average of 2.2 key passes and 2.8 completed dribbles per game.<\/p>\n<p>By the way, in Ligue 1 last season, Kvaratschelia, who joined mid-season from Napoli, averaged 1.9 key passes and 1.8 successful dribbles, so he wasn&#8217;t that bad.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, as hinted, such a deal would not be cheap and is highly unlikely, but there is still a sense that Arsenal are still missing out on the real X-factor, the &#8216;wow&#8217; moment that would bring Sanchez or Mesut Ozil to the Emirates.<\/p>\n<p>    The signing of the PSG wizard will certainly have echoes of the great days of the bygone transfer window.<\/p>\n<div class=\"display-card  article article-card small  no-badge  active-content                      \" data-include-community-rating=\"false\" id=\"arsenal-could-see-bid-accepted-to-sign-new-rice-mateus-fernandes\" data-nosnippet=\"\">\n<picture><source media=\"(max-width: 480px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.footballfancastimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/declan-rice-arsenal-leverkusen.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=140&amp;h=98&amp;dpr=2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.footballfancastimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/declan-rice-arsenal-leverkusen.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=140&amp;h=98&amp;dpr=2\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"440\" height=\"364\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Declan Rice-Arsenal-Leverkusen\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/static0.footballfancastimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/declan-rice-arsenal-leverkusen.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=220&amp;h=182&amp;dpr=2\" src=\"https:\/\/static0.footballfancastimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/declan-rice-arsenal-leverkusen.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=220&amp;h=182&amp;dpr=2\"\/>\n        <\/picture>\n<p>                    <span data-field=\"label\" class=\"article-card-label\"><label>related<\/label><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"w-display-card-content regular article-block\">\n<h5 class=\"display-card-title \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Arsenal_could_accept_a_55m_bid_for_new_Declan_Rice\"><\/span>\n<p>\t\t\tArsenal could accept a \u00a355m bid for new Declan Rice<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<p class=\"display-card-excerpt\">Despite how successful the season has been, Arsenal are already looking to bring in another Declan Rice.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It feels like Arsenal have been waiting a long time for a suitable successor to Alexis Sanchez on the left, and this department looks set to be an area of \u200b\u200bpriority for the summer.
