Arsenal could sign "hard-working" £43m-rated Martinelli rival who's just like Mudryk - opinion

This is based on the fact that the pair measure up and rank similarly for various key metrics in those leagues, such as touches in the opposition box, progressive carries and tackles per 90.

However, the percentiles in which they fall for these metrics are not impressive, with the "elegant but hard-working" Spaniard, as he was described by U23 scout Antonio Mango, sitting in the top 46% of wingers for touches in the opposition's box, the top 29% for progressive carries and the top 19% for progressive passes received per 90.

Mudryk, on the other hand, sits in the top 35%, the top 22% and the top 28% for the same metrics.

What's worse is that besides these rather uninspiring figures, Martinelli is still miles clear of the player who supposedly could be his competition when it comes to their underlying numbers this season.

In fact, even Mudryk - who has had a rough time in west London after scoring just four goals since the Blues edged out Arsenal with an £88.5m offer last year - comes out ahead of Barrenetxea

Arsenal's dynamic young Brazilian comes out on top in every vital metric bar non-penalty-expected goals and assists, goals and how frequently he is dispossessed per 90, with the Chelsea man claiming the top spot in those three areas.
