In England, Brentford are at the forefront of the analytics craze. Essentially, number in football.

Using numbers to tell us about trends, how to play, which players are good. Brentford owner Matthew Benham believes in the system incredibly and why wouldn’t he, it is winning him things in Denmark.

FC Midtjylland are using this approach and it’s working. The Danish champions are now going strong in the Europa League, punching well above their weight, and one of their star men is being linked with a move to Arsenal.

20-year-old Pione Sisto has been mentioned as a possible target for the January transfer window. The winger rejected a move to West Ham United in the summer, but could a bigger club tempt him?

Chelsea and Manchester City are also being linked with the player, who is the rising star of a club everyone is intrigued by. Last season, the winger scored seven goals in 14 appearances and just 1063 minutes (that’s a goal every 152 minutes from the wing) as Midtjylland won the Danish title.

In September he was awarded with his first cap for Denmark, and he scored his first Europa League goal against Club Brugge at the start of October. He’s hot property and, with out track record, it wouldn’t be a surprise at all to see Arsenal interested in the player.
