They still have a chance in the Champions League, but Arsenal’s domestic season is now over.
Mikel Arteta’s side has crashed from the FA Cup and League Cup, making him second in the Premier League, far from Liverpool.
Now, the club has had to deal with the number of injuries this year, and while they have definitely played their part in this unfortunate situation, the inactive form of their attackers have also not helped.
Neither Leandro Trossard nor Gabriel Martinelli were in the best places, for example. It could also take their place on their side next season, based on recent reports.
Arsenal winger search
A recent report from Spain shows Arsenal is one of several teams interested in signing Feynord’s exciting Igor Pikes.
Transfer focus
Mega Money deals, controversial moves, famous flops. This is the home of transfer news and opinions across Football FanCust.
In fact, alongside the gunners, the report revealed that Premier League sides Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur, Newcastle United and Bournemouth sides are in touch and showing interest in signing exciting wingers.
While the level of competition is far from ideal, the good news is that players claim to be valued at around 30 million euros on the Dutch side (about £25 million), so it may not be a particularly expensive deal to complete.
Overall, getting over the line can be a complicated transfer, but the immeasurable quality of the Paixão is worth pursuing, especially as it can be a perfect upgrade for Martinelli and Trossard.
Passion is compared to Torosad and Martinelli
The good news for Arsenal and Arteta is that, along with Bukayosaka and the current Ethan Nuwaneri, the right-wing position could and should probably be covered for the next few years.
Unfortunately, this season has taken his overwhelming form since last year, and as Trossard has taken a big step in effectiveness, it has proven that the same cannot be said about the other side this season.
This is where Pikes appears. So far this season, he has proven to be a real upgrade to Arteta’s options if signed this summer, as he has been great for Feynord, both domestically and Europe.
The best way to show how good the Brazilian is is to simply compare it to the output of his potential new teammates.
For example, in 38 appearances this season, the “explosion” 24-year-old called talent scout Jacek Kulig has scored 11 goals and provided 15 assists in total for 3,176 minutes.
That is, he averages goal involvement every 1.46 games or every 122.15 minutes so far this year. This is just like Arteta can actually do.
In contrast, the former Itou Anagem scored seven goals and provided four assists in 38 appearances totaling 2500 minutes, while the former Brighton & Hove Albion star scored six goals and seven assists in 43 appearances totaling 2665 minutes.

That is, the Brazilian ace averages goal involvement every 3.45 games or 227.27 minutes, while the Belgians are slightly better, averaging goal involvement every 3.3 games.
Ultimately, Martinelli and Trossard are extremely talented footballers who are relentlessly efficient at their very best, but it appears that Paixão is moving from strength to strength in Rotterdam.
Therefore, Arsenal should do what he can to bring the Feynord star to the Emirates this summer before anyone else wins him first.
