Zhekelais joins Arsenal and sparks heated discussions, Saliba s bold statement on the championship competition has completely changed

Arsenal's introduction of powerful center Tzekelish has sparked heated discussions in European football. Recently, Arsenal's defensive core Saliba bluntly stated in his acceptance that the arrival of the Swedish scorer will completely change the team's championship pattern.

It is reported that after multiple rounds of negotiations, Arsenal finally signed Dzekelish from Portugal Sports for a transfer fee of 63.5 million pounds (about 72.6 million euros). The deal was delayed due to the additional terms negotiations, and Zhekelais has officially debuted before the Arsenal Asia Tour match against Newcastle.

Statistics show that Zhekelais scored 39 goals in 33 Super League games last season, not only helped Portugal sports win the 21st league championship in team history, but also set a record for the highest goal outside the five major European leagues. Even after deducting 12 penalty kicks, his 27 sports goals still beat top scorers such as Mbappe and Lewandowski. In contrast, Arsenal, Premier League scorer Havertz scored only 9 goals last season, setting the club's lowest data in 31 years.

"Confronting him is a nightmare for the defender," Saliba admitted, "The super shooter like this now belongs to us, and he will be the last puzzle to strive for the championship." The French central defender also emphasized in particular: "The top scorer can change the trend of the game, and Zhekelais is like this."

In recent years, Arsenal has been second in the Premier League three times, and head coach Arteta only won one FA Cup and two Community Shield Cups during his coaching session. However, this does not affect Saliba's confidence in the previous next season: "Every season is a new chapter. We have accumulated enough experience and what we need to do now is to transform our potential into a championship."

According to the schedule, Arsenal will challenge Manchester United away on August 17, and will then face Leeds United and Liverpool in a row. Whether Zhekelais can prove his value in a strong dialogue will become a key factor in determining the championship trend.
