Arsenal Looking to Sign £ 84m Rodrygo Upgrade Who’s Like An “Early Henry”

Wheno Bighly Saka was ruled out of the nasty hamstring injards the back end of 2024, there were a collective amongst amongst Arsenal Supporters.

Saka is Their Star Boy, A Beaming Ray Of Light AnotherWise Struggling Front Line. Struggle, They Most Certainly Did His injury.

While It Allowed Ethan Nwaneri a Stage in What to consistently Shine, Their Options On The Left-Hand Side Didn’t Always Deliver.

In 2022/23 Gabriel Martinelli Scored as many as 15 goals. In 2023/24, Leandro Trossard Found the net on 17 Occasions. Yet, The Season of 2024/25 Was Not Ask to Brazilian and The Belgian, Even If IF The Former Did Score Against Real Madrid.

Indeed, Across 51 Games and 56 Games Respectively, The Pair of Wingers Only scored ten goals EACH. It’s Safe to Say This Needed to Be Better With Saka And The Lack of A Forward Center.

So, It is Unsurprising to Learn That Mikel Arteta Wants to Strengthen His Options on The Flank This Summer.

How Arsenal Could Strenghen Out Wide This Summer

One of Arsenal’s Priority Targets This Window Appears To Be Real Madrid Winger Rodrygo With The Brazilian Attracting Serious Interest From Andrea Berta and Co.

New Reports Over The Weekend That Everyone At The Club Is Aligned On The 24-Year-Old Is The ‘Ideal Profile’ for Arsenal and As A Result, They could launch a £ 59m Bid In The Coming Weeks.

IF A Move Fell Through, Then The Gunners do Beher Irons In The Fire. One of Them Could Be AC Milan Winger Rafael Leao.

That’s According to Caught OffsideWho, Amid Interest from Bayern Munich and Manchester, Suggest That Arsenal and Chelsea Are Also Interested in the Portuguese Winger this Summer.

Berta’s interest is not Said to Be Serious Yet But Competition For A Player Valued Around £ 84m Is Evidently Fierce. Chelsea Have Reportedly Held Talks Over A Possible Swoop.

How Leao Compares to Rodrygo

From A Goal Threat Alone, Rodrygo Would Be A Better Signing Here. After all, in 2022/23, He scored as many as 19 goalsProving He Knows What It Takes To Break Down A Defense.

Leao, on The Other Hand, has a consistent scorer of Government But Yet to Truly Explode, So to Speak. Coincidentally, The Best Season of His Career Also in Came in 2022/23, Where He Beat the Goalkeeper on 16 Occasions.

Since then, The Milan Forward’s Form has been to be a little inconsistent, Scoring 12 Goals and Supplying 13 Assists This Season, But His Profile Is Truly Scary, So Much So That Hear Hen Of The Great Thierry Henry.

Indeed, Back in 2022, Milan Coach Stefano Pioli Said: “Leao reminds me A Lot Of The Early Thierry Henry, Who Started Wide Then Came Inside.”

Possessing Long Strides and The Ability to Beat World Football, Leao So Often Scampers Cutting Onto His Favored Foot and Making Something Henry Did When Henry Did When He First Came to Arsenal.

It’s That Sort of Profile That Makes Him The Dream Alternative to Rodrygo.

If We Compare Their Numbers From Their Career to Their Career to the End of the 2024/25 Campaign, You Go A Flavor For Just How Similar to Their Playstyles.

As farbling and creating opportunities Go, there’s not much, with Them, With Rodrygo Coming Out for Top Progressive Carries But Leao Better Passes.

What Does Separate Them, Howwever, Is Henry-Like Style.

Standing at 5 Foot 9, Rodrygo Is The More Diminutive of The Two Players and Would Be An Alexis Sanchez Type. Leao, on the other hand, is 6 Foot 2. Now, We All Know Arteone Of Loves Someone Build and Thus, The Portugal International Feels Like a dream profile.

That extra Strength and Pace is Just What Arsenal Need On The Left Flank.
