💼 The Brief: Find the perfect striker for Arsenal

After Mikel Arteta's side set the record for most touches inside the opposition box without scoring in a single Premier League game, fans and pundits agreed it is time to sign a clinical number nine.

For this video, we've used six stats to create a shortlist: Conversion Rate, Non-Penalty Expected Goals, Shots Inside The Box, Big Chances Scored, Shot Accuracy and Shot Placement.

Using these metrics, we've searched for players with 900+ minutes played in the following leagues forsince the start of last season to find the best match: English Premier League, Spanish LaLiga, Italian Serie A, German Bundesliga, French Ligue 1, Dutch Eredivisie, Portuguese Primeira Liga, Brazilian Serie A, Danish Superliga, Swedish Allsvenskan, Turkish Süper Lig and MLS.

Remember, this is not a replacement for Gabriel Jesus. This needs to be a completely different option. Arsenal need a fox in the box, which means the new centre-forward should complement the Brazilian's striker radar. For example, Erling Haaland returned a 93% match to this search and there was only one player with a higher score - don't worry, he's in the video.
