After a rip-roaring start to life in the Premier League this season, Arsenal can undoubtedly boast that they have some of the league’s top performers. Some have come from far, others had been at the Emirates all along, while others have managed to undergo a drastic turn in their careers to become some of the team’s leading performers. 

With the World Cup coming up in November, a large portion of the Arsenal squad are expected to represent their respective countries in Qatar. This article lists the top 3 players most likely to make a significant mark on the World Cup.

List of Arsenal players likely to excel in the World Cup

  1. Gabriel Jesus 
  2. Bukayo Saka
  3. William Saliba 

The rest of the article will discuss points such as player form, how each player has performed for their respective teams. 

1. Gabriel Jesus 

Gabriel Jesus’ entry into Arsenal can be summed up by one word. Electric. The forward has been an absolute menace for defences, knitting together passes, running with the ball at his feet, and applying pressure from minute 1. 

While his goal-scoring record may not be on par with his old team’s new signing (how scary are Erling Haaland’s numbers by the way?), Arsenal has proven to be the perfect destination for the Brazilian. Jesus has so far registered 5 goals, and looks very much like he may get a goal every other game. 

Where he fits into the Brazilian World Cup squad may be somewhat up for debate. Brazil have plenty of options in attack, and it’s not yet clear which players they will call upon, and how this may change as the tournament develops. Gabriel Jesus is, however, very likely to be a regular fixture in the squad, currently providing a better goal-scoring threat than Richarlison, and a more pressure than Roberto Firminho. 

With all this in mind, Gabriel Jesus is the Arsenal player most likely to light up the World Cup. 

2. Bukayo Saka

While Bukayo Saka’s performances have played second fiddle to those of Gabriel Martinelli, Martinelli is in the unfortunate situation of playing the same position as a very in-from Neymar. Thus, the second most likely Arsenal player to light up the World Cup is none other than the gunners’ own star boy. 

Bukayo Saka has been Arsenal’s outstanding player for two straight seasons, and has gone on to replicate his scintillating form for the national team. The three lions have looked at their best when Saka has had the ball at his feet in full flight, looking to create chances. 

While Saka hasn’t been in and amongst the goals as he may want, many Arsenal fans feels that it’s merely a matter of time before the goals start to flow. One thing to highlight is that while Martinelli and Jesus have been hogging the Arsenal spotlight, Saka is still very much amongst the best wingers in the league, with Southgate openly showing his appreciation for the young forward. 

3. William Saliba 

While it’s the likes of Karim Benzema and Kylian Mbappé that are demanding the attention of football fans, there’s a Rolls-Royce of a defender quietly going about his business week in and week out in the Premier League. William Saliba has arguably been Arsenal’s best player this season. 

France are in good stead to go far this season. According to these bookmakers listed on this 11 Best World Cup betting sites in Canada article, the only team favoured to win the World Cup more than France is Brazil. France are going to have to find the strength to string together a few more consistent performances, but they may just find an element of calm consistency with Saliba. 

In his performances in the Premier League so far, Saliba has impressed, not only with his ability, but his consistency and his temperament have meant that Arsenal has managed to secure victories that they never would have without him. France could use a player like that at the moment. 

Conclusion

After a shrewd window, and clever work to bring the right players home, Arsenal are currently a team brimming with potential World Cup stars. The three listed above are believed to be those to make the biggest impact, but, each of Arsenal’s men going to Qatar will impress for club and country.
