Objectives, objectives and more objectives; If there is one thing Arsenal It was missing this season, it was goals.
Mikel Arteta side finished second in the Premier league For the third season on the rebound this year and has produced the best defense of the competition.
However, the Northern Londoners marked 17 goals less than champions Liverpool and three less than Manchester City, who finished third.
Thus, fans should be enthusiastic about recent reports connecting the club to a proxy goalscorer, who would be a significant upgrade on Kai Havertz.
It seems that all other transfer concerning Arsenal this summer have been linked to an attacker, in particular Benjamin SESKO or Viktor Gyokerres.
According to Earlier reports this weekRB Leipzig will last up to 100 million euros for the Slovenian star, which represents around 85 million pounds sterling, while the star of the sports CP could be available up to 70 million euros, which represents around 60 million pounds sterling.
However, with apparently blocking progress with both, another name has reappeared: Ollie Watkins.
According to a recent report From Gary Jacob of TimesArsenal could return to Aston Villa star this summer.
The Gunners had an offer of about 40 million pounds sterling for the English refused in the winter window, but according to others Earlier reports this weekAn offer of as much could be enough to seal the agreement this summer.
It may not be fans of the attackers’ signature hoped or even expected at the start of the window, but Watkins is proven in the Premier League and would be a massive upgrade on Havertz.
Now, even if Watkins can play in a Few positions through the front line And even played in the midfield in his youth, his best position remains at the top, leading the line, to the point, in fact, that Podcastor Rohan Jinvan Describes him as “one of the best centrals in Europe”.
Consequently, with Gabriel Jesus who was to be absent for the rest of the year, his main competitor for playing time in Arsenal would be Havertz, but who comes out in mind when we compare them?
Well, with regard to their raw production, which is ultimately what matters most for a center-forward, it is English that comes out in mind.
For example, in 54 appearances this seasonTotaling 3578 minutes, the former Joyeuse of Exeter City scored 17 goals and provided 14 assists, which emerges on average from a target of an objective every 1.74 games, or every 115.41 minutes.
On the other hand, the number 29 of the Gunners marked 15 goals and provided five assists In 36 appearances, totaling 2809 minutes, which comes on average from an achievement to a target every 1.8 games, or every 140.45 minutes.

The comparison is not much better for the German international when we take a look at the hood of their underlying figures.
For example, while it does better in certain regions, such as progressive passes, shooting actions and the precision of passes, The Claret and Blue Star presents itself in the vast majority of relevant measures, such as the expected and real non-lowering objectives, plus passes, progressive passes, progressive doors, actions to create goals, shots and target kicks, key and more. 90.
In the end, Havertz is a useful player and will probably continue to be next season, but if Arsenal really wants to upgrade their front line, then they could do worse than signing Watkins this summer.
