Arsenal plot British record move for “best player in the world”, he’s better than Saka…

Arsenal is considering a record-breaking move for the “best player in the world,” who is even superior to Saka.

Superior to Saka: Arsenal is planning a record transfer for the “best player in the world.”

Mikel Arteta has developed an exceptional squad at Arsenal over recent years.

From front to back, players like William Saliba, Declan Rice, and Eberechi Eze would seamlessly fit into any Premier League team.

Despite not being at his peak this season, Bukayo Saka remains the club’s most crucial player.

The Hale End product is their key player, capable of single-handedly securing victories, so supporters should be thrilled by rumors linking Arsenal to someone even more talented than Saka.

Arsenal is targeting a player who surpasses Saka.

Arsenal has already been associated with several outstanding players as the winter transfer window approaches.

For instance, Juventus’ Kenan Yıldız has been mentioned for an £88m transfer to the Emirates, as has Real Madrid’s Rodrygo.

However, while both of these wingers are exceptional talents and would certainly enhance the Gunners’ squad, neither is superior to Saka.

Vinícius Júnior, on the other hand, could potentially be.

Indeed, a recent report from Spain indicates that Arsenal is now showing interest in the Madrid star.

The report suggests that with negotiations for a new contract at the Bernabéu not progressing well, the Gunners are now ‘pursuing the Brazilian.’

A potential transfer fee has not been disclosed, but with Transfermarkt estimating the winger’s value at €150m – approximately £132m – it would likely necessitate a new British record transfer fee.

That said, if Arsenal has the opportunity to sign Vini Jr, they should seize it, especially since he is one of the few forwards in the world who is better than Saka.

How Vini compares to Saka

First and foremost, it is important to emphasize that Saka is a genuinely world-class player, and he has the potential to become a legend at Arsenal.

However, it is also true that Vini Jr may be a slightly better player, and he could create a formidable partnership with Saka on the opposite flank.

With that settled, which international superstar stands out when we evaluate their performance this season?

So far this year, the Gunners’ number seven has netted six goals in 15 matches, accumulating 1053 minutes, which averages to a goal every 2.5 games, or every 175.5 minutes.

In his contributions, the former Flamengo talent has scored five goals and delivered four assists in 17 matches, totaling 1172 minutes, resulting in an average of a goal involvement every 1.88 games, or every 130.22 minutes.

Which impactful winger emerges as the leader when we delve into their underlying statistics?

Surprisingly, the Brazilian dynamo not only excels in most metrics but in nearly every relevant category.

For instance, these metrics encompass non-penalty expected goals plus assists, progressive passes and carries, shots on target, successful take-ons, and more, all calculated per 90 minutes.

In conclusion, while Saka is an outstanding player, as Ronaldo has previously stated, Vini Jr is arguably “the best player in the world”. Thus, if Arsenal has even the slightest opportunity to acquire him, they should pursue it wholeheartedly.
