Deep analysis
Why Ballity rates this move
DOES THE CLUB NEED HIM?
Based on Arsenal's current depth and coverage, not on the rumour itself.
HIGH
DOES THIS PROFILE EXIST?
Few current options cover this kind of player. That is club depth, not market rarity.
SCARCE
IS THERE A VACANCY?
Arsenal have lost depth (Leandro Trossard · LW), but Raphinha is not a direct replacement for the players who left.
ADDS DEPTH
IS HE AN UPGRADE?
Raphinha projects at RW, primary competition is the same-side position (Bukayo Saka), not the opposite flank (Leandro Trossard).
POSSIBLE
CAN HE START?
Projects at RW with Leandro Trossard · Viktor Gyökeres; Bukayo Saka to competition (unit view only, not full starting-XI proof).
COULD
WHO DOES HE COMPETE WITH?
Raphinha would compete directly with Bukayo Saka for RW minutes.
