Aerial Duels
Winning battles with opponents in the air is a key part of a defender’s job, especially in the Premier League.
In terms of aerial win percentage, Simakan is the centre-half that comes out on top, having won 60.3% of his duels in the Bundesliga this season.
Tapsoba (56.1%) and Guehi (55.7%) are quite a way behind but, it must be said, both have similar numbers that Arsenal’s current first-choice centre-backs.
In the Premier League this campaign, William Saliba won 55.2% of his aerial battles, compared to Gabriel’s 56.8%
