Arsenal finally have their own Eden Hazard as Mikel Arteta praises star for title impact

Arsenal are in the thick of a title challenge thanks to their ability to work as a team in a system that has been well drilled by Mikel Arteta. However, it's the ability of the individuals to be able to execute the plan to perfection that has perhaps seen them reach their heights this season.

Outstanding individual seasons for the likes of Bukayo Saka and Granit Xhaka have propelled the Gunners to a new level that hasn't been seen for years. However, it's perhaps Gabriel Martinelli that has managed to shine the brightest amongst a group of impressive stars.

The 21-year-old added to his tally once again on Friday in the 3-3 draw with Southampton that took him to 15 goals in the Premier League this campaign. That leaves him just one behind the all-time best scoring season of former Chelsea star Eden Hazard had in the division before leaving for Real Madrid, with six games left to beat it.
