Arsenal fans here in the Tavern are drinking away their sorrows, as they look to be on course for yet another season of enjoying the Thursday night lights of Europa League football.
Indeed, with a top-four place now looking out of reach for the Gunners, this could have huge implications of future transfers to the club as players now seek the attraction of Champions League football.
However, with plenty of games still left for them to leave their mark they’ll have to produce something similar to the unbeaten season of 2003-04, with a near perfect run of results from here on in gifting them their best chance.
Although, at a club like Arsenal there’s always going to be vacancies as Alexis Sanchez is the latest player to be nearing a move away, as Manchester United close in on the attacker.
With Arsenal looking like being on the receiving end of another disappointing season in North London, Arsene Wenger may already look to strengthening his side in the summer months. Indeed, Richarlison is expected to leave his current club Watford during the summer months, with Chelsea and Arsenal both poised for the signing.
A player who’s established himself as one of the stars in the English top-flight this campaign, as his trickery, pace, goals and assists show all the makings of becoming next Brazilian superstar.
Nevertheless, with Chelsea showing interest in the forward, there’s no hiding that Arsenal would be a much better option for the 20-year-old, and here’s TWO reasons as to why…
Guaranteed key player status
The Brazilian has established himself as the star player for Watford so far this season, after creating for his teammates and scoring some crucial goals has made it an incredible first season in England.
In an Arsenal side that doesn’t have any attacking wide-men to support Alexandre Lacazette at this moment in time, there’s already a guarantee that Richarlison will have an immediate impact as a key player in their squad.
Something that’s pivotal to the progression of the youngster, and a position that Chelsea can’t guarantee with Eden Hazard asserting his dominance in that area of the field.
Shape his own path to stardom
At a club that’s been open to giving youth a chance this season with Ainsley Maitland-Niles making a name for himself. Richarlison is a player who’ll be gifted the opportunity to shape his own future, under a manager that always gives players the chance to succeed.
He’s a player that’s been sure to seize his opportunity so far with the Hornets, having his magic projected onto the European stage will be massive in the future of the youngster, both for progression and attraction.
Indeed, it seems as if Chelsea will be playing Champions League football. But, with Brazilian’s having a bad track record at the club after the lack of respect shown to David Luiz and Willian, it looks as if the Emirates Stadium is the better option.
