Joao Cancelo (Manchester City)

Joao Cancelo

Multiple reports have linked the Gunners with a move for the Portuguese international and it’s not hard to see why.


Cancelo is better in nearly every single metric than Zinchenko, with the exception of blocks, clearances and progressive passes.

Even on that last stat, the margin is small, with Cancelo averaging 6.77 progressive passes per 90, putting him in the top 2% of fullbacks over the past twelve months.

The big question will be whether City will sell another player to Arsenal, and it doesn’t seem likely currently.
