3 ways Arsenal could deploy Mohammed Kudus next season

2. Could provide backup for Bukayo Saka

Arsenal are said to be interested in a versatile forward, and no one fits the bill quite like Kudus.

The 22-year-old might feel his positional future lies elsewhere, but he primarily operated out wide for Ajax last year and shares many similarities with our own Bukayo Saka, ranging from his agile frame and explosiveness to frequent success with protecting the ball when under pressure.

However, Kudus is often reluctant to use his weaker right foot (a critique once levelled at Saka) and therefore tends to cut inside when attacking, which can make him somewhat predictable.

He would have some way to go before dislodging the Gunners’ Starboy, but good baseline attributes mean Kudus can develop into a fantastic right-wing option and give Saka a richly deserved break.
