5 alternatives to Thomas Lemar for Arsenal

#2 Mikel Oyarzabal

Mikel Oyarzabal

There’s no doubting Real Sociedad’s academy. Players such as Xabi Alonso and Antoine Griezmann have come through the ranks of the Spanish clubs, and the next one looks to be Mikel Oyarzabal.

At just 20-years-old, the Spaniard already has an international cap to his name, whilst he’s played 60 La Liga games for Sociedad, scoring 10 and creating 11. For what he lacks in pace, the youngster certainly makes up for in dribbling and vision.

Oyarzabal likes to play on the left-wing however, he’s not your typical winger. The Spaniard likes to cut-inside and play one-twos whilst he looks to exploit gaps in the opponents’ defence – whilst he has that Mesut Ozil and David Silva style of play about him.
