Arsenal’s wondrous transformation has seen them go from also-rans to title contenders in the Premier League. Since Mikel Arteta’s arrival, the team has shown steady improvement, culminating in a top four finish last season. While they haven’t yet got their hands on the coveted trophy, there’s no denying the progress they’ve made.
Several players have contributed significantly to this resurgence, with William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes solidifying the defense, while Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard have been instrumental in midfield. Up front, Bukayo Saka has led the attack with aplomb, and the ever-improving Kai Havertz has provided an added threat.
However, some players, such as Gabriel Martinelli, have struggled to take their game to the next level. According to recent reports, Martinelli’s place in the team may soon be under threat from an exceptional winger, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
Kvaratskhelia, dubbed “unstoppable” by talent scout Jacek Kulig, has plundered 29 goals and 28 assists in 98 games for Napoli. His goal involvement rate of one goal or assist every 1.71 games is impressive, especially considering his team’s poor performances last season. In contrast, Martinelli has struggled to make a significant impact, with 12 appearances, two goals, and three assists under his belt.
Arsenal should seriously consider signing Kvaratskhelia if the opportunity arises, providing aupgrade over existing options. With the player’s preference for a Premier League move, a potential transfer battle between Arsenal and Liverpool may ensue.
While Martinelli is undoubtedly a talented winger, Kvaratskhelia’s credentials are undeniable. As Arsenal eyes a potential title challenge, Kvaratskhelia could prove the decisive factor, and his signing would be a significant coup for the club.
