Heading into the January transfer window, one thing is clearer than any other issue in the league. Premier League; arsenal Players need to be signed. They also need to sign forward players.

In the match against Aston Villa, Mikel Arteta He probably had one of the worst benches in the league, which meant Raheem Sterling was his only option, and even then, that didn’t happen until the final ten minutes of the game.

Kieran Tierney, Alexander Zinchenko, Jakub Chiviol and Jorginho are all options, but with the Gunners in need of goals, they can only field Sterling, who has first-team experience. Other options are 19-year-old Ismail Kabia and 22-year-old Nathan Butler-Oyadeji.

So, this might explain the relationship with something like Alexander Isaac and Benjamin Seskodon’t you think?

So there’s no new defender, right? Well, think again. Another full-back could be on his way to the Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal eyeing Bayern Munich star

Arteta has made a huge effort to strengthen the club’s defense over the past few years and, to his credit, he has done an excellent job in this regard.

No team has conceded fewer goals (29) There are more Gunners than there were in the Premier League last season. The problem is, a lot of them are injury-prone.

Shift focus

Big-money deals, controversial moves and big-name flops. This is your home for transfer news and opinion on Football FanCast.

We haven’t seen the best of Riccaro Calafioli yet, who can’t seem to stay fit, while Takehiro Tomiyasu and Ben White are both currently sidelined with injuries.

Having said that, the aforementioned Tierney and Zinchenko are likely to be on their way out in the coming months. The Scotsman’s contract is set to expire and the latter has Has been linked to Borussia Dortmund in recent days. Maybe new recruits are needed?

Well, one of them could be the Bayern Munich sensation Alphonso Davis. that is According to Spanish reports They say Arsenal and Liverpool are looking to convince the Canadian to sign for them instead of Real Madrid.

Davies is closing in on a new contract with Bayern, with his current contract set to expire this summer and he will become a free agent if he doesn’t put pen to paper.

As a result, Arsenal are on red alert and, along with Arne Slott’s side, have “intensified contacts with the player’s agents” with a view to bringing him into English football.

Why Davies would be a great signing for Arsenal

Yes, Arsenal need attacking players, but in Davies they could sign a makeshift striker who can improve efficiency at both ends of the pitch.

He is a natural winner who has won multiple Bundesliga titles with Bayern and is an experienced player who can play immediately.

Primarily a left-back, he would provide Arteta with an alternative to the options he already has.

While Calafiore is more of a brutal defender, Myles Lewis-Skelly has played the opposite role brilliantly in recent weeks. Data analyst Ben Martinson has suggested The 18-year-old is “the best player in the league at drawing fouls.” Really good reviews.

However, they miss that swashbuckling left-back, someone who can push forward and support the attack. This is where Davis can come into play.

The clock is Tied seventh fastest player in Bundesliga historyhe is obviously In Martinson’s words, “electric” players And could provide flank support for Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard, much like we’ve seen Ben White provide for Bukayo Saka on the right over the years.

As we can see below, Davies is completely different to the likes of Lewis Skelly and Calafiore, but he offers a lot in terms of carrying the ball and being an extra attacking threat.

Interestingly, Davis is more than just a left-back. indeed, During his club career he played as a left winger 45 times Shot 16 times from the right wing.

The 24-year-old has regularly featured in more important attacking positions for his native Canada, notably starting on the left wing in two of Canada’s three games at the 2022 World Cup. In the 2017 Gold Cup, he started on the right wing in two of the four games.

There are exciting parallels here with a certain Sarkar. Of course, the England international played as a left-back in senior football before progressing further and eventually playing on the right. Saka also possesses the same dribbling ability as Davies, leading us to believe the Canadian could play a more attacking role in Arsenal’s regular game.

He’s still young enough to mold into other things, and there’s plenty of evidence that a player with so much pace and skill can thrive in the final third. Saka is proof of that, as is Wales legend Gareth Bale.
