Arsenal have been criticised for their lack of goals from the strikers this season, despite this Mikel Arteta’s side still came close to a finish in the Champions League. But a big reason for this is due to the Gunners having a surprising source of goals from elsewhere in the squad.
Over the season, Gabriel Magalhaes became the highest goal-scoring centre-back in the Premier League. The Brazilian finished an impressive individual campaign with five goals.
Arsenal have not been accustomed to having goal-scoring defenders in recent years. However, having an extra source of goals can prove crucial in the long run for a team to achieve their targets which has been proven by other clubs in the past.
