The 22-year-old striker, who was on loan at French side Rennes last season, impressed as he scored 21 goals and provided three assists in 37 games, also in the league and French Cup.
Before his loan, he counted with Arsenal ten appearances with two goals and one assist. Of course, upon his return to the British club, he didn’t take his chances since various transfers such as Havertz’s played a role in keeping him on the sidelines of the Arteta.
Just as the injury he had in the pre-season friendly with Barcelona played a key role, losing significant ground in relation to the rest of his teammates.
