Kel Varnsen

I can see what you are saying about being a little sloppy on the ball, and you're right, composure will come with time and experience.. That said, i would not say he was anywhere near 'average'. You could see the class and skill he has, and he's got a great football brain. Would i start him against the likes of City or Pool? Nah.. But i would certainly play him against some of the more 'fodder' teams and let him build his conditioning so he can last a full game.

That said, he will not be a starter once we get players back. He will mainly be used as a sub or in these cup comps.

      He has that ability to sort his feet out quickly, when you can do that you'll be a major goal threat, looking forward to seeing more of him.

        IBL important. I’ve said my priority signings are Musiala / Wirtz. I strongly believe that this kid gives us the same qualities. Just a few years behind these guys in his development. But it’s that ability to take men on and destabilise defenses that I love

          Another interesting stat...
          ... if Nwanners plays 150 more minutes before March, he will have played more minutes before his 18th birthday than Saka AND Foden did combined.

          He surely will I think.

          Kel Varnsen A little aloppy on the ball, and not enough composure.

          He had a 98% pass success rate in that match. And thats while making 55 passes. Compare that to Merinos 22 for context on his involvement. That sort of passing accuracy combined with volume is excellent. And he was passing in advanced positions which is more difficult.

            I didn’t think he was sloppy in any way shape or form.

            Showed mesmerising ability at times - things which the majority of the players aren’t able to do

            I read he's comfortable playing on both wings, and if that's the case, then he should be in direct competition with Martinelli. Could be the better option against teams sitting deep (Martinelli tends to play better in more open games).

              Tactics One of Nwaneris greatest attributes - the ability to cut in and pearl one into the top corner with his left foot - is lost if we play him on the left...

                Love this little kid.

                So, so talented. I think he’s the most talented Arsenal youngster I’ve ever seen, even above Cesc and Jack.

                  At minimum, it feels like we should be giving him 25 mins per game in either Saka or Odegaard's spot. Then tack on some starts in cup games and CL games once (if) we're secure in the qualifying round.
