Arsenal need goals

A sixth draw of the season exposed Arsenal’s goalscoring woes to Arteta, as his side were unable to find a way past Everton in front of their frustrated fans. The Gunners scored just 1.22 expected goals and had just five shots on target against Sean Dyche’s side, who sit 16th in the Premier League table.

Bukayo Saka and Kai Havertz top Arsenal’s top scorers with five goals each. Among clubs in the Premier League, players at 12 different clubs could already improve on that figure, while Arsenal’s 29 goals scored are good enough to make them the league’s fifth-highest scorer.

Kolo Mwani himself is said to want a move to England, while Paris Saint-Germain are “willing to agree a loan move with an option to buy in the future”, which could attract interested parties given there is no financial commitment required.
