Should Arsenal upgrade their left wing?

- Published

We asked for your views on whether the left wing position is one Arsenal could upgrade in the summer. A lot seems to be said about upgrading in that area - but is that fair?
Here are some of your comments:
Fikre: Yes, they need to upgrade their left wing position to another level by signing elite wingers like; Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Rafael Leao, or Morgan Rogers.
Dan: Even though I loved Martinelli when he first came on the scene, his form has dropped massively and I think we should cash in and get a winger that will get us goals, assists and get us to the next level.
Gumbo: Without question. We have the best defence in Europe but despite being the second highest scorers in the league, we've sometimes struggled to create the chances to put the game beyond the opposition's reach which is why so many games have been won by just the single goal. Excellent defence + more creativity up front = the next level.
Spragga: From what is realistically available I'd say Nico Williams, Vinicius Junior and possibly Marcus Rashford.
Larissa: Depending on who is available, ultimately both Martinelli and Trossard should be replaced. Maybe one this year. I feel for Martinelli as, like Gyokeres, I don't feel we play to his strengths. I just don't see a winger in him, unfortunately. His lack of composure costs. Trossard has been amazing but he has one year left and he's 31.
Grant: An upgrade on the left wing is necessary if we want to compete at the very highest level. However, in my opinion, more craft is needed in the midfield. Odegaard's form has been indifferent for a couple of years and Eze is inconsistent. Also, a world-class striker is required. Havertz and Gyokeres do an adequate job but an upgrade is required here too.
Alan: Yes, it is time to upgrade the left wing position if we want to take the next step up. I love Martinelli and Trossard and we definitely need one of them to stay but unless Martinelli suddenly discovers how to score more regularly, we need to find someone that can. Trossard probably only has one year left in him as a striker.
Ali: Absolutely, I think we all identified left wing as a position that could be improved last summer. With budgets being what they are and other priorities, it's understandable we stuck with what we had but the numbers and performances say it all. A world-class player in this position would have a massive impact on our attack and also prevent teams from nullifying Saka so much through doubling up on the opposite flank.
