We could say most of the years, but this time it seems particularly true: this summer will be massive for Arsenal.
The Mikel Arteta team found themselves to finish the finalists in the Premier League for the third time on the rebound this season and ended a fifth campaign without a trophy.
So, while keeping their players in good shape and on the field will be the key to finally overcome the line next season, it is just as crucial asndrea Berta and CO help the manager, bringing brilliant talents in the weeks and months to come.
The good news is that, on the basis of recent reports, this seems to happen, because the Gunners have now been linked to a midfielder destroyer who won comparisons with the legendary Patrick Vieira.
Mix in the Arsenal midfielder
While fans and experts call Arsenal to go out and sign a new new number and at least one winger – it is understandable – it is undoubtedly just as important as the club brings reinforcements of midfield.
After all, Jorginho left to join Flamengo and, on the basis of recent reports by Fabrizio Romano, discussions on a new contract for Thomas Partey do not advanceAnd the possibility of leaving is now “concrete”.
Fortunately, the Romano also reaffirmed that the agreement to sign Martin Zubimenddi from Real Sociedad should continue, with the club offering approximately 51 million pounds sterling for be paid in payments.
However, this still means that the finalists of the Premier League will be short a midfielder unless they advance to sign Lucien Agoumé.
Yes, according to to a recent Spanish reportArsenal is interested in Sevilla star.
The report says that the Gunners consider the young Frenchman as a potential replacement of Party, although to make him cross the doors, the Spanish part will have to buy the remaining 40% of his rights in Inter Milan.
We do not know how much it would cost Arsenal, but as the £ 17 km per week joined Andalusia Side for 4 million euros – 3.4 million pounds sterling – last summer, it may not cost too much.
In addition, with comparisons with Vieira and the possibility of seeing him play with Zubimendi, it is an agreement that deserves to be prosecuted.
Why AGOUME would be a great signature
So, before seeing how he could complement and learn from Zubimenddi, it is worth examining in this comparison with Vieira and where he comes from, because the old invincible is undoubtedly one of the greatest players of Arsenal ever.
Well, in this case, it follows from Talent respected Jacek KuligWho finished a profile on the young person in 2019, when he concluded that the star most similar to his style of play was the former captain of the Gunners.
He arrived at this conclusion by emphasizing the mirror forces of his game, such as his ability to control the midfielder through a combination of precise passes and immense physical and mental strength.
These attributes have not left it in the years since this initial report either, with data Analyst ben mattinsinson lyric civility About him in winter, describing him as someone who is “composed of dictating the tempo,” a “good dueur” on the ground and in the air, and just as important, is a mainly defensive midfielder who is “very progressive”.
We can see a lot in its exceptional underlying numbers, With Fbref placing it in the Top 3% of field circles in the best five leagues in Europe for the percentage of successful sockets, the highest 4% for plated plus interceptions, the 5% most important for the right interceptions, the most important 9% for the average shooting distance, the most important 12% for targets by target and more, all for 90.
Agoumé Scout report | ||
|---|---|---|
Statistics | By 90 | Centile |
Cake-on% successful | 73.3% | Top 3% |
Decrees + interceptions | 4.73 | Top 4% |
Interceptions | 1.75 | Top 5% |
Plated (in the middle of the 3rd) | 1.58 | Top 6% |
Average shooting distance | 3 p.m. | Top 9% |
Goals / Target | 0.50 | Top 12% |
The antennas won | 1.79 | Top 13% |
Tackles | 2.98 | Top 14% |
So, if Party will leave and Zubimenddi will come as six beginners, it could create the perfect environment for the AS of Seville to present itself as a lining for Spanish, learn the role without too much pressure and ultimately – perhaps earlier than some expect – start to provide real competition.
In addition, given its similarities with Vieira in its tenacity and its range of silky passes, there is no reason why he cannot start in a double pivot with the star of the Sociedad in certain matches or leave the bench to form one when the team must keep an advance.
In the end, the “extraordinary” ace, as nicknamed by the old Seville Manager Enrique Sanchez FloresIt may not yet be a familiar name, but Agoumé seems to be on the right track to become one, and therefore, Arsenal should do everything they can to sign it now, before its price hides this season.
