Arsenal’s top/only scorers this season tells an interesting story
Arsenal aren’t netting many goals this season but their list of scorers is a picture that tells an interesting story.
13 players have scored for Arsenal this season which is a nice spread but they aren’t getting very many individually.
Only 11 players have provided assists with Hector Bellerin leading the way on four. Pepe, Willock and Willian all have three, Saka and Smith Rowe have two while Maitland-Niles, Ceballos, Aubameyang, Nelson and Balogun all have one assist.
When you look at the list below the first thing to strike you will probably be the number of youngsters scoring for us.
Other questions you might ask upon looking at these stats are:
- Why did Leeds think Eddie Nketiah wasn’t good enough?
- Why are our senior midfielders doing next to nothing?
- Forlain Balogun can’t really do more than he has, why isn’t he getting more chances?
- Will Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s changes make any difference to his form?
