Arteta left the Arsenal Isak for 0 £ 0

Arsenal is a club that has been completely transformed in the past five years.

Mikel Arteta took a side that was moving into the mediocrity of the intermediate table and helped to develop one of the best teams in Europe, not to mention the Premier League.

Although his philosophy and tactics played an important role in the rejuvenation of the North Londoners, the signatures have also created.

Under the previous sports director Edu Gaspar and Andrea Berta today, the Gunners have become much more effective to identify and sign brilliant players on the transfer market.

However, Arsenal still has a problem for selling stars and has seen more than their share just for nothing, including an international which could be described as being the own Alexander Isak of Arteta.

Arsenals players who have not left for nothing

There have been signs of improvement with Eddie Nketiah, Emile Smith Rowe and Aaron Ramsdale who all left for decent money last summer, but in the previous four or five years, Arsenal had too many players for nothing.

For example, perhaps the most exciting signature of the club has ever made, the player whose arrival promised the inauguration of a triumphant period for the club which has never arrived, Mesut Özil, ended up leaving for nothing.

The German superstar accepted a contractual renewal of £ 350,000 per week in January 2018, and it was roughly downhill from this moment until his departure for Fenerbahçe three years later.

Nicolas Pepe is another large signature that is free.

The Ivorian was a better player for the Gunners that people did not grant him, accumulate 48 goal implications in 112 games, but he could never live up to his price of 75 million pounds Sterling and, after several intermediate loans, his contract made ended up with mutual consent.

Back further, at the time of Unai Emery at the club, and the release of Aaron Ramsey was another disaster from a financial point of view.

After 369 games for the club, in which he scored 64 goals, provided 60 assists and played an important role in several triumphs in the FA Cup, the Gallic legend left the Gunners to join the Italian giants of Juventus.

With everything said, none of these stars could be compared realistically to the new superstar of Liverpool, Isak, which is not the case for another AS who did not leave for nothing under the Arteta watch.

The Arsenal star who was Isak of Arteta

Since he took the post at Arsenal, Arteta has supervised the outings of certain notable players, including the aforementioned Ozil, but perhaps the most controversial was Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

The Gabonese international was the club’s captain for part of the Spanish mandate, but after a drop in form and his late arrival for a derby in northern London in March 2021, the writing was on the wall for his career as Gunners.

The former star of Borussia Dortmund was finally released for nothing in January 2022, and although he suffered a dull and a half year with Barcelona and Chelsea, he quickly found his shape in the south of France.

In a season with Marseille, the monster born in Laval scored 30 goals and provided 11 assists in 51 appearances, which was enough to make him pass a great fact of the Saudi Pro League.

The 36-year-old was able to raise a total of 24 participants in 24 games for Al-Qadsiah last season, but now returned to Marseille, where he already surpasses Viktor Gyokerres, producing three goal implications in three games.

With everything said, then, what did it mean that we could describe it as being as Isak of Arteta in the past?

Well, the first reason is that, before getting out of the boil somewhat, the “world class” striker, baptized by Behdad Eghbali, was a light and average scorer machine for the manager.

For example, during the 19/20 season, he accumulated a sensational transport of 29 goals and three assists in 44 appearances, totaling 3,725 minutes.

This comes to a scandalous average of a goal every 1.37 games, or every 116.40 minutes.

In addition, like the former Newcastle United star, he is a tagged attacker but undeniably elegant center-forward, who was capable of a plethora of finishes, but who was particularly able to come from the house and at home.

In fact, like the Swedish, he can first be an attacker, but he spent a lot of time in his career widely playing on the wings.

Finally, just as the new Reds star helped its old team with the League Cup, the former Gunners star played a crucial role in Arteta by raising the FA Cup during his first season as a manager.

In the end, although there have been valid reasons to get rid of Aubameyang, we cannot help asking how useful it would be in this Arsenal team, because it clearly has an excellent ability to put the ball at the back of the net.
