The former striker picked Konsa for his “solid performance” and “massive tackle on Morgan Rogers“, adding that Arteta might have to find a way to keep Konsa in the team when everyone is fit.

Deeney called Odegaard a “captain, leader, and a massive winner”, and suggested Havertz is Arsenal’s “best striker…best football…and also their best finisher”.
