3 reasons why Nuno Espirito Santo is the right man for the Arsenal job

2. His counter-attacking prowess could work wonders at the Emirates

A typical aspect of Nuno Espirito Santo’s team is counter attacks. They generally attack through the middle and this helps in the creation of many turnovers. The midfielders always look to put in diagonal balls for the wingers or wingbacks to exploit the space created by the opposition.

Arsenal have a tremendous amount of pace, physicality and goal-scoring threat upfront in the form of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Alexandre Lacazette and Nicolas Pepe. They’ve also got promising youngsters like Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka. Plus the likes of Hector Bellerin and Kieran Tierney provide a lot of width and pace as fullbacks.

The likes of Xhaka, Guendouzi, Ceballos, and Torreira will give him enough choices to pick up and form a stable midfield. All of these players make Nuno the perfect person to take over the reins at the Emirates. He will get the required pace and technicality upfront to exploit opposition defences and score goals.
