Arsenal are one of the most in-form teams, heading into the new season, having bagged the FA Cup as well as Community Shield. They have shown a lot of promise, backed by a newfound identity and some exciting players looking to make a mark in the Premier League.
In this article, we will talk about three Arsenal stars set to light up the Premier League next season under the leadership of Mikel Arteta.
Dani Ceballos
Dani Ceballos’ return from Real Madrid might just turn out to be one of the most important deals in Arsenal’s recent history. The Spaniard was proving to become an ideal component in the creative midfield unit, during the backend of last season.
Having him back should, therefore, serve as a massive boost for Arteta. Ceballos himself enjoyed a rapid improvement under the Arsenal manager, becoming braver and courageous in the press while dropping deep to influence the build-up.
Such qualities could bode well and propel Arsenal’s approach play in the upcoming campaign. Not to mention, his solid midfield partnership alongside Granit Xhaka could make the Gunners more resilient than they have ever been.
Kieran Tierney
Kieran Tierney’s first season in the Premier League was marred by a series of unfortunate injuries. As a result, he failed to muster even 1,000 minutes of Premier League action during the 2019/20 campaign. However, the Scot is ready for the new season, it seems.
One of the most exciting prospects for any Arsenal fan regarding Tierney is that the ex-Celtic man is slowly integrating himself into a central defensive role whilst retaining his attacking qualities going forward.
It has opened up numerous tactical possibilities for Arteta, especially when it comes to reverting to a four-man defence even during the game.
Tierney himself hasn’t failed to impress whenever he had played last season, and the fans, as well as, Arteta will be expecting pretty much the same in the new campaign.
Bukayo Saka
Perhaps the most obvious one on this list, Bukayo Saka is simply one of the most talented youngsters in English football right now, and the upcoming 2020/21 campaign could be the one where he finally makes himself known to a wider audience.
Indeed, Saka has already impressed the onlookers with versatility as he has been used in several positions by Mikel Arteta. It looks like the Spaniard is torn between the right-wing and the left-wing back slot for the youngster, but given how he has responded in both of those positions, it is fair to assume that Arsenal have a serious talent in their hands.
