Arsenal can forget Rodrigo by signing £77m star, who is like “early Henry”

Just like that, Arsenal will play the Premier League later today.

Mikel Arteta and his team will hope to be lucky for the fourth time this season, and they can finally master the trophy, which has been closed for some time.

​​​​

While this requires hard work from the entire team, the Gunners are in a good position in the transfer event this summer.

People like Martin Zubimendi and Viktor’s gyokeres might be real game-changers for them until the window grand slams closed, and Andrea Berta and co had time to pass the door (like Rodrygo) and then to a few stars.

But with Real Madrid aces now linked to other teams like Tottenham, Arsenal may be a wise choice to turn their attention to another winger this summer compared to Thierry Henry.

Why Arsenal wants to sign Rodrigo

Although they have slowed down in the past few weeks, which may be due to growing interest from other teams, the story of connecting Rodrygo to Arsenal on the window is relatively stable, with many suggesting he will be able to leave Spain for about £78m.

Now, this is undoubtedly a huge amount of money for a player, but it is not difficult to see why the Gunners may be willing to spend so much money on the Brazilian.

After all, since moving to the club in 2019, he has helped the Royals win two La Liga titles, two Champions League titles and many other trophies.

On top of that, the 24-year-old is a reliable source of goals and assists in the recent campaign, scoring 14 goals in the former and providing 11 in 54 games last season.

Additionally, the former Santos gem has been forced to stand out for most of the past two years, thanks to other superstars on the side, making his achievements even more impressive.

In short, Rodrygo is an effective winger who has the highest level of the game and has won the biggest prize for the club football championship.

But, as things are, it looks like Arsenal will be the one to ensure his service, and while that’s not ideal, they can forget everything about him by moving to N5 to N5 earlier this summer: Rafael Leao.

Why should Arsenal sign Leo

Although they are not as stable as other targets and interested players, there are several stories this summer that link Arsenal to Leo’s moves, often at around £77 million.

Once again, spending a lot of money on a player is a lot of money, but like Rodrigo, AC Milan stars are worth every penny, and can be said to be a better signing than the Brazilian.

For example, despite struggling for a team that last season with more struggles for Losc Lille, former Losc Liles Ace still managed to score 12 goals and provide 13 assists in just 50 games.

In other words, the 26-year-old Dynamo scores goals per game on average, while the real man plays an average of every 2.16 games.

In addition to what writer Theo Mwangi calls Almada Superstar, Almada-born, which writer Theo Mwangi calls, it may be a more interesting winger, and the data shows a lot.

According to FBREF, the Milan man ranks in the top 5% of offensive midfielders and wingers, i.e., divisions are earned every 90 times, while the Osasco-born international champions rank in the top 20%.

Finally, if you still don’t believe Leao is Arteta and Co’s guy, then his former manager, Stefano Pioli, might help.

By 2022, the Italian made a bold statement that his star winger “reminds me of a lot of early Thierry Henry, who started wide and then came in.”

Given the Frenchman’s legacy in the game, this sounds like a wild thing, but when you watch his highlights it’s easy to see where he comes from, as Portugal’s monsters often walk down the left side before cutting in and developing home.

Ultimately, while it’s an expensive deal, Arsenal should do whatever it can to bring Leo to Emirates this summer, as he may end up being better than Rodrigo.
