Arsenal aims to promote “world-class” Jesus for 58 million pounds. Who is Bergkamp?

This was not the case Arsenal season this year.

Mikel Arteta The team has had to deal with setback after setback so far, from suspensions to season-marking injuries, and on top of that, their form has been inconsistent.

However, there have been signs of improvement in the last two games against Crystal Palace Gabriel Jesus He looks close to the exciting player he was when he first joined the club.

However, he may soon face more competition for a place in the team, with reports linking the club with an incredible player Premier League Top scorer who has won comparisons with Dennis Bergkamp.

Arsenal transfer news

According to A A recent report from The TelegraphArsenal is very keen to sign the Wolverhampton Wanderers star Matthews Cunha.

The report claims that the Gunners' interest in the Brazilian dynamo was there before Bukayo Saka's injury over the weekend and that getting the player out of Molineux next month would be very difficult.

The story doesn't mention a potential transfer fee, but a report earlier this month claimed that Old Gold may be willing to sell if a market bid occurs. The area is worth 70 million euroswhich turns out to be around £58 million.

Whatever the final price, this could be an incredibly expensive and complex transfer to get over the line, but given Cunha's immense ability, it is one worth pursuing, especially as he could be an upgrade on Jesus and has won comparisons with Bergkamp.

Comparing her universe to Jesus and Bergkamp

Well, before we look at how Cunha compares to Jesus, let's first examine this comparison to the famous Bergkamp and where it comes from.

Well, this case stems from former professional critic Ashley Williams.

The former Welsh international praised the Brazilian star for his wonderful performance and goal against Fulham. He described his playing style as: “Denis Bergkamp-esque.”

“He's a very powerful runner, what a touch, a few touches actually. Great pass (from Lemina), great pass. That's Dennis Bergkamp.

“Two touches and a finish, that's what you want to see when you watch a football match.

However, while his display at Craven Cottage was certainly in the mold of the Non-Flying Dutchman, there was at least one other similarity between the duo: positional flexibility.

The former invincible can Playing in midfield or wide But he spent most of his time up front, either as a striker or second striker.

Likewise, the former Hertha Berlin player played in midfield The garden and the wingsbut it is most effective at the top and bottom in the middle.

However, how can the Wolves top scorer measure up to Arsenal's current Brazilian number nine?

Well, from a pure production perspective, which is the most important metric for a striker, it's an easy win for the 25-year-old.

For example, in 55 games since the start of last season, the striker is “world class”, e.g Writer George Lakin called itAnd it was recorded He scored 24 goals and provided 12 assistswhich equates to an average goal sharing per 1.52 matches, which is incredible for a relegation-threatened team.

On the other hand, the former Manchester City star scored a goal 14 goals and ten assists In 58 matches over the same period, the equivalent of an average goal share every 2.41 matches.

Ultimately, although Jesus is still a great player and appears to be in excellent form at the moment, he has not been reliable enough over the past two seasons, while Cunha has been consistently brilliant.

So, while it will cost the club a pretty penny, Arsenal must do everything they can to sign the Wolves star next year before someone else outsells them.
