Why Arsenal desperately need a winger this summer (TACTICS BOARD)
An old fashioned, typical winger is hard to find these days. Someone who will receive the ball out wide in the opposition’s final third, with the sole purpose of taking the full-back on and delivering a cross or cut-back. Someone who will bust their gut to get in the box when the play is being made on the opposite flank. Someone who can deliver a very good set-piece, or has the trickery to produce a moment of magic in a tight game, and potentially be the match winner.
Arsenal lack one of these. Alex Iwobi has shown, particularly recently, that he is more suited to a central, deeper role. His consistency in his passing, good close control and physical presence allow him to dictate play from the middle of the pitch. Danny Welbeck is an inverted forward when deployed on the left, often looking to come inside and get involved more in build-up play. He’s not particularly skillful and doesn’t attain any crossing ability. Henrikh Mkhitaryan is a playmaker, who often starts out wide but drifts in and gets involved more in central areas, looking often to be the link between the deeper midfielders and the striker. Mesut Ozil certainly isn’t a winger and Reiss Nelson’s best position is unknown.
