An outside shout for sure, but Gabriel Jesus is capable of playing on the left wing if he is required to do so.

He has played on the left wing for Arsenal, and due to his creative skill and not being as good a finisher as those mentioned above, he does seem suited to the role. However, his injury proneness and inferior ability compared to the rest of the candidates make him a far less suitable option for the role.


Verdict: Gabriel Martinelli

Despite being off form over the past season or so, Gabriel Martinelli should remain Arsenal's main man on the left wing. The introduction of Mikel Merino should help the Brazilian get back to his best form and improve to become one of the Premier League's best wingers once again.

There is no doubt Trossard and Sterling will make appearances on the left wing from time to time, but they will mostly be called upon to operate as cover for Martinelli. Jesus can also provide cover if necessary.
