When I see player destined for greatness, I will know. He is going to be world-class player in the Future. Arsenal should not dare Gamble with Him”, Mourinho reveals the One Arsenal player that Arteta shouldn’t gamble with this season – Not Bukayo Saka and Not William saliba

“When I observe a player marked for greatness, I recognize it. He will become a world-class player in the future. Arsenal must not take risks with him,” Mourinho states the one Arsenal player Arteta should avoid gambling on this season—not Bukayo Saka and not William Saliba.

 

According to Up Chelsea, Arsenal midfielder Ethan Nwaneri “won’t be thrust into the side” for the upcoming match against Tottenham this weekend. The site reports that it is unlikely the teenager will start in the derby, despite some speculation about his inclusion.

 

Manager Mikel Arteta faces a selection dilemma after captain Martin Odegaard suffered an ankle injury while on international duty. Mikel Merino (shoulder) and Declan Rice (suspension) were already out for the match, and Fabio Vieira was loaned to Porto earlier this summer.

 

Given the circumstances, Nwaneri is not expected to be in the starting eleven on Sunday, but he is likely to be on the bench.

 

Who will start against Spurs? GiveMeSport indicates that Arteta is seriously considering starting Raheem Sterling in a central role. The 29-year-old joined on loan from Chelsea just before the transfer window closed last month.

 

Although Sterling has yet to debut, it would be a significant opportunity for him to start in such a crucial match, indicating Arteta’s confidence in his skills. If Sterling is selected, Kai Havertz would likely move into the No.10 position left open by the injured Odegaard.

 

Arsenal has other options to contemplate. Instead of starting Sterling up front, Arteta might use him on the left flank and place Leandro Trossard behind Havertz, although Trossard has not frequently played in that position for Arsenal.

 

Alternatively, with Gabriel Jesus expected to be fit for the derby, he could take on the striker role, though it’s worth noting he has been lacking match fitness since his last appearance in the season opener against Wolves due to a groin issue.
