For example, in almost every relevant metric, the former Borussia Mönchengladbach star comes out ahead, including but not limited to actual and expected non-penalty goals plus assists, progressive passes and carries, shot and shots on target, goal and shot-creating actions, key passes, successful take-ons and more, all per 90.

Ultimately, Arsenal's need for a lethal attacker has become impossible to ignore this season, and while Vlahović would undoubtedly be a brilliant addition to the Gunners' squad, Thuram appears to be more effective than him in practically every department.

Therefore, while it'll cost them an arm and a leg, the North Londoners must do what they can to bring the Frenchman to N5 this year.
