Combatant and cultured on the ball, focused on getting forward and making things happen in the final third.<\/p>\n<p>Will Rodgers be able to pull a similar punch at the Emirates? He is a flashy attacker who excels at breaking low blocks and forcing opponents into dangerous areas, but he is also a solid defender who attacks well with tackles and interceptions.<\/p>\n<p>Rodgers, who helped Aston Villa win the Europa League, is firmly establishing himself as one of the most exciting attacking midfielders on the market and is someone Arsenal would greatly benefit from having in their squad.<\/p>\n<div class=\"table-container\">\n<table border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"1\" cellspacing=\"1\" style=\"\" align=\"\" summary=\"\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th colspan=\"3\" scope=\"col\" style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>premier league morgan rodgers<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>Statistics (* per 90)<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>24\/25<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>25\/26<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><strong>Match (start)<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>37 (37)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>37 (37)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><strong>Goal + Assist<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>8+10<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>10+6<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><strong>touch*<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>41.3<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>48.8<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><strong>Exact path*<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>17.6 (75%)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>21.5 (75%)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><strong>A big opportunity has arisen<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>16<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>13<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><strong>Key pass*<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>1.4<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>1.3<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><strong>Loss of ownership*<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>13.7<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>16.7<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><strong>It was successful. dribble*<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>1.8<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>1.1<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><strong>Ball recovery rate*<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>3.2<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>3.8<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><strong>Tackle + Interception*<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>1.4<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>1.5<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><strong>Win a duel*<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>4.7<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>4.3<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table><\/div>\n<p>There is no doubt that Rodgers, hailed by journalist Graham Bailey for his &#8220;world-class&#8221; quality on the ball, is the real deal and, unlike players like Martin Odegaard or Ebelesi Eze, he is someone who can provide Arsenal with a counterpoint.
