ARSENAL boss Mikel Arteta has assembled an attacking force that is the envy of the Premier League.But can this new-look forward line finally deliver the coveted league title to the Emirates?GettyViktor Gyokeres moved to the Emirates for £64m[/caption]GettyNoni Madueke swapped Chelsea for Arsenal this summer[/caption]After several seasons of steady progress, Arsenal‘s summer transfer activity has transformed their attacking options from promising to downright formidable. The acquisitions of powerhouse striker Viktor Gyokeres, direct winger Noni Madueke, and creative maestro Eberechi Eze have provided Arteta with a dazzling array of offensive options. Last season’s title challenge ultimately fell short, with key moments in front of goal proving to be the Gunners’ Achilles’ heel. This time around, the club has decisively addressed that issue. The £64million arrival of Gyokeres from Sporting Lisbon, in particular, signals a clear statement of intent. The Swedish international is a classic No9, possessing a potent combination of physical presence and clinical finishing that has been largely absent from Arsenal‘s recent squads. His impact is expected to be immediate, providing a focal point for the attack and a guaranteed source of goals. Arteta has also recruited Madueke for £52million from rivals Chelsea and Eze from Crystal Palace for £67.5million to provide another layer of unpredictability to Arsenal‘s play. This means the established stars are now facing stiff competition for their places. BEST FREE BETS AND BETTING SIGN UP OFFERSBukayo Saka, the jewel in Arsenal’s crown, remains a vital component of the attack, but the burden of creativity and goalscoring will now be more evenly distributed. The likes of Kai Havertz, Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus, who have been mainstays in the Arsenal attack, will need to be at their very best to hold down a starting spot.While the versatile Leandro Trossard offers yet another high-quality option from the bench. With so many options available, Arteta must decide which combination is going to be the most effective with key games against Man City and Newcastle coming up fast, along with the start of the Champions League.So who should he pick and who should he leave out?In this article we break down the options that Arteta now has in the wide areas with a view to understanding what the best combination will be for Arsenal.Saka is still the main manThe Hale End academy at Arsenal is one of the most productive academies in World Football and in recent seasons they have seen real success in terms of bringing through young players to the first-team squad. Last season saw the emergence of the likes of Myles Lewis-Skelly and Ethan Nwameri in the first-team squad and now the 15-year-old Max Dowman has made his Premier League debut and been included in the Champions League squad. It is easy to forget that Saka, the last player before these to really break through, is still only 24 years old.Before picking up an injury that kept him out for a number of weeks Saka was arguably the best and most dangerous player in the league as he played from the right-side of the attack. Now that he is fully fit it is fair to say that Saka should still be the first name on the team sheet for Arsenal across the course of the season. There has been some thought that Saka could move across to play from the left-side of the attack but he is so effective from the right-side that we think that he will stay there.Bukayo Saka was Arsenal’s key man last seasonSaka is in the perfect position to go either inside or outside against LeedsHere, we see the kind of position on the pitch where Saka thrives. He stays initially on the outside to receive the ball but being naturally left-footed he then wants to cut in and attack towards goal. The presence of Saka on the right-side of the attack has an effect on the opposition defensive block and players naturally shuffle over to that side to ensure that when the England international winger receives the ball they can double up with two or even three defenders. This will, in turn, create space for teammates and this is where the greater strength in depth can really help Arsenal. If the opposition are pulled over to the right then the left-winger for Arsenal will typically be in space and in an area where he can play 1v1 against his direct opponent if they can get the ball across to him quickly.This would have generally been either Martinelli or Trossard last season.But now Arsenal have upgraded their options and we could see that player on the left-side being either Eze or Madueke who can really impact the game if they can regularly receive the ball in space. As for Saka it is a mark of his quality that he can still immediately change the game when he receives the ball even if he is up against multiple defensive players.Saka liked to hug the right flank in the win over LeedsMadueke was more fluid but stayed mostly on the left v LeedsHere against Man Utd, Saka times his run perfectly to meet Odegaard’s through ballSaka’s positioning is generally very intelligent and he pulls off the defender into space.This creates the option for teammates to play the ball through the last line and through into space.If Saka is one of the first names on the team sheet for Arsenal then the important thing for Arteta is to find the best pieces around him in order to achieve the most success. How will Madueke and Eze fit?The signings this summer of England stars Madueke and Eze gives Arteta plenty of options and depth in the wide attacking position. How though will they both fit at Arsenal? Let’s take Eze first and look at his skill set and his best position for the club. At Crystal Palace Eze played for the most part from more central positions as the most advanced attacking player or even as a narrow No10 when he was tucked in from the left-hand side of the pitch.At Arsenal he could play from the left-side but his profile is very different to that of Saka on the right. Eze will look to narrow off and play inside as opposed to holding his position and providing consistent width on the left-side of the pitch. He wants to receive in the central positions and when he has the ball in transition his first thought is to push through the centre of the pitch in the attack. He is a ball carrier but also a creator and finisher who can contribute goals and assists but he could also play as the most advanced central midfielder in the role that is currently taken by Odegaard.Eze shows his pace and power in this game for Palace against WolvesHere we see the kind of situation in which Eze would thrive at Palace. He would collect the ball centrally in transition and he would lead the attacking movement. He can take the ball and move through the thirds and carry the ball with pace and power while also retaining the ability to find passes to break the last line with creative passing.Madueke is a slightly different case as he far more effective when playing as a more traditional winger. When he was signed by Arsenal in the first instance there was a thought that he would slot in on the left-side.But as we have seen from his recent performances, and in this international break for England, he is far more comfortable, and maybe effective, from the right-side. He has some of the same strengths and traits as Saka as a left-footed player who can play from the right.Although he is perhaps at his strongest when he has space to attack into as opposed to when he has to receive under significant pressure.It will be interesting to see whether he can adapt to playing from the left-side more regularly and if he wants to play regular first-team football he may need to do so. From that side a more vertical and forward-focussed profile may fit well given the fact that, as we have already discussed, the left-sided attacker in this system can receive with more space to attack directly into. As a ball carrier who wants to be aggressive in terms of carrying forward and breaking lines this could fit the profile of Madueke.Madueke was a constant threat on the right win for England against SerbiaIn the latest international break we saw Madueke play from the right at points for England. As we can see here he ends up breaking beyond the defensive line with a run that starts from deep. This vertical running style can be effective at the top level.What is the best option for Arsenal?It is impossible to discuss what the best option for these attacking wide options for Arsenal will be without first understanding how they would fit with the kind of players and profiles that are around them. The midfield unit for Arsenal have also been strengthened with the signing of Martin Zubimendi to play as the deepest midfielder and this creates more space for the likes of Odegaard, on the left of the midfield three, and Declan Rice on the right of the midfield.We believe that Arsenal will persist with Saka on the right and then with Eze starting from the left-side. With Odegaard playing higher in the right-sided channel this would then create the structure for Eze to come inside and off the left to where he can play in the channel on that opposite side. The left-back will then have to work to create and maintain width but that is possible.Odegaard plays in the right side of the midfieldEze played on the left of midfield, but not too wide, against ChelseaOdegaard leads the Arsenal attack on the right side, and Eze can do the same on the leftHere, we see the kind of areas that Odegaard can receive the ball in on the right-side of the pitch. If Arsenal could balance their attacks with a player that can then receive on the opposite side in the same kind of areas then they will instantly bring more problems for the opposition to try to defend against.With Eze on the left-side of the attack, even if he does tuck inside and occupy space, will then create space that Rice can exploit with runs forward from deeper areas. The same would be true if Madueke, or Martinelli, played as a more traditional winger from the left side but in this scenario the runs from Rice can be more easily dealt with. If Arsenal have Odegaard and Eze both in more central issues then any supporting run from Rice will result in overloads in central spaces.Rice is highly skilled at arriving at the right time to hurt the oppositionThese are the kind of areas in which Rice can receive the ball and then look to hurt the opposition. He arrives late to support the attack and his ability to strike from these areas brings another goal threat that Arsenal can exploit.ConclusionThe signing of Eze came later in the window and it feels like his arrival has added an extra dimension to the attack. While Madueke is a more traditional winger it is likely that he will be the first option for Arteta off the bench when he needs to change the game or add another option. We believe that the strongest attacking option now for Arsenal will be Gyokeres as a No9 with Saka on the right and Eze on the left.
