Statistics show why Arsenal should sign Julian Draxler or Gonzalo Higuain

Arsene Wenger has already made two signings this summer but the Arsenal supporters are still waiting for the Gunners manager to sign a world-class centre-forward.

Arsenal have been linked with a host of different players in the summer so far, but Wolfsburg forward Julian Draxler and Napoli striker Gonzalo Higuain are two names that keep popping up.

Now, Oulala have taken an in-depth look at the pair’s stats to examine whether Arsenal should spend big on Draxler or Higuain this summer.

The Argentina international finished with an impressive 36 goals and two assists in 35 Serie A appearances. Draxler, meanwhile, netted just five times in 21 Bundesliga games.

Unsurprisingly, the Napoli forward averaged 5.2 shots per game, which is significantly more than Draxler’s 1.4 attempts on goal per game. However, Draxler has a narrowly greater shot accuracy of 61 per cent to 58 per cent.

So Oulala’s stats highlight the different elements both Draxler and Higuain could bring to the Arsenal side but will Wenger open his cheque book again this summer to finally land a quality striker?
