European Problems, Mexican Solutions: Arsenal

After 2020 things are changing drastically in the world of soccer there’s no doubt about it. What doesn’t change is the fact that some teams need more assistance than others to progress and become better. With the transfer window coming to a close on February 1st, teams need to get on board with making their transfer decisions. Today’s focus is on none other than the Premier Leagues, Arsenal FC.

Number 10 CAM

Being 12th place in goals this season with a total of 26 scored across a 20 game span something is missing. A more fierce attack and creating opportunity in the box is needed. It is clear that Arsenal needs a push offensively and we have a perfect answer to Arsenal’s woes, a player they can invest in and get their money’s worth. Sebastian Cordova, besides having intelligent passing, excellent technique, good pressing ,which is something we have seen at Arsenal in the past and worked well. With 29 successful dribbles, 56% of tackles won, 50% of duels 2 assists which is key, and 77% pass accuracy. This is clear that Arsenal could benefit from having Cordova on the pitch paired with players like Bukayo Saka, and Alexandre Lacazette.

Right Back

We all are aware of the defensive struggles Arsenal has had in the past and currently is having at the moment. With 20 goals conceded in the season, it’s clear, some changes need to happen in the backfield. With players most likely leaving in this year’s transfer window like Calum Chambers and Shkodran Mustafi, Arsenal will need fresh replacements. For this, we have another perfect match.

Alan Mozo has had a good run so far with Pumas UNAM but it’s time to see him shine in another league. a good percentage of duels won, high passing percentage knows how to get forward easily great with crossing, has the tremendous speed to come back, and is physical. His stats show some solid work that he’s done. 49% duels won, 68% tackles won, 25 interceptions 69% passing Average, 3 assists, 19% cross accuracy, and 20 successful dribbles. with this type of help, Arsenal can reduce the number of goals that are scored against them and more chances can be created from the backfield.

Central Midfield

In the midfield, when you think of Arsenal you think of players like Dani Ceballos and Joe Willock who create opportunities for the attacking forwards like Aubameyang, Lacazette, and Nketiah. As good as these players are and reliable, sometimes it’s good to have someone to back up and come on the pitch and switch up the game when no one expects it. If you haven’t figured it out yet there is also another solution for Arsenal.

Fernando Beltran who is currently in C.D. Guadalajara (Chivas) is the next Mexican player that Arsenal could benefit from and develop in Europe. The player has a lot of mobility, a defensive presence which is a plus. Transitional passing, is balanced, has solid ability, and is fierce in the attack. His stats speak for themselves, 50% tackles won, 56% duels won, 89% passing average, 50% PPG, 80% cross accuracy, and 20 successful dribbles. If these stats do not scream Arsenal sign me I don’t know what will.
