Oh no.

I pulled a list of top attacking midfielders to see how a possible target lined up on underlying metrics.

The highest defensive duels won % in the sample?

Sverre Nypan (65.75%).

Will write up more thoughts as time allows, but the last newsletter had my TLDR on the profile to chase for the January window. It's fine to be picky with top wingers and strikery strikers — the profiles we need are rare. But that's not a cause for inaction.
This all underpins the desperate need for a third high-tier creative threat on the team past Saka and Ødegaard. This January, my ideal signing may be a Xavi Simons type. (I’m just using him as an example, as he’d be unlikely to be available.) Somebody with burst, ball-striking, dribbling, and urgent creative energy, who can play across roles in the front. Chasing finishing quality is fickle, especially in the short-term. Havertz can be spelled by Trossard and Martinelli and others as-is. If Ødegaard goes out, or continues with his dips in form, who is the creative locus? That said, long-term fit trumps short-term need. Need a good attacker, period. The long-term absence of Jesus opens up space for all kinds of profiles.

Mikel Arteta tells TNT Lewis-Skelly "couldn't finish the training session yesterday" after "an incident" against Aston Villa. Calafiori "only trained 20 minutes yesterday".
