For some players, they have one thing they do well: their strength, but for others, they have several strings to their bow. That is Scamacca.

While the 23-year-old is dominant in the air, he’s also equally adept with the ball at his feet. He has superb technical ability which means he can function as a reliable outlet when Arsenal need to bypass a high press.

The deft little flicks and half turns that are synonymous with Arsenal’s style of play when they’re purring is something that Scamacca can get in on as well. Not to mention his hammer of a right foot, either.

The Italian is capable of scoring a variety of goals thanks to his excellent ball-striking. A well-rounded striker is something the Gunners haven’t had in years.
