Kai Havertz (winner)

One of the main elements of Michael Olise's play which makes him an attractive signing is his ability play a pinpoint cross. In general, his creativity his exceptional but it's his ability to whip in crosses and set pieces to match the jumps of tall attackers which makes him a great prospect for Arsenal.

Enter Kai Havertz, one of the tallest players in the Premier League. The Germany international stands at a colossal 1.93m, making him the ideal target and he has proven to be a great target man for Arsenal, already scoring some impressive headers this season.

Reiss Nelson (loser)

It has to be said that Reiss Nelson has experienced a decline in form this season. After signing his contract extension, he has failed to impress or make a name for himself in the starting lineup.

Admittedly, it is difficult for the Hale End graduate to stamp his authority on the starting lineup when he's in competition for a place with the best player at Arsenal, Saka.

Unfortunately, I cannot see a place in the squad for BOTH Nelson and Olise. Therefore, if the Frenchman is signed, it would likely signal the end of Nelson's time at Arsenal.
