Thomas Partey, Mohamed Elneny and Albert Sambi Lokonga all compete for the same position at the base of Arsenal's midfield, leaving Xhaka to a number 8 role. "There is reason why the Arsenal manager needs support in that role. "Mikel Arteta has been looking at additions at left-back and central midfield in this summer transfer window. "Should he play in midfield, a role he undertakes regularly at international level, Zinchenko would compete with Xhaka at Arsenal - and a closer look at their respective heatmaps last season shows that the two play in the same area of the pitch, even though the Ukrainian played at left-back and the Arsenal man operated from midfield. The 24-year-old has stated his desire to reunite with Erik ten Hag and a deal in the region of £45m is being finalised. Arsenal have been in the market for a left-sided defender and were trying to sign Manchester United bound Lisandro Martinez from Ajax.

Mikel Arteta has said William Saliba is in his plans for next season and challenged him to establish himself as a first-team regular at Arsenal.

"I think he looked really confident and all that time he's been abroad has built that confidence in him which is really important. "He's a proper talent and he's shown in the last year what can do. "We cannot guarantee first-team football to anybody in this team -- you can ask that question to anybody.

A constant livewire. While only a friendly, the defender showed what he is all about. With a goal and an assist to add to his brace from Germany, it has been a scorching start to the forward's Arsenal career. While he didn't get on the ball, he played a part in the second goal too, creating space with his run for Saka to finish. Solid night for Xhaka, got on the ball a lot and managed to hit the post but not as involved as you would normally expect. Bukayo Saka added the second, getting on the end of a ball from Jesus to make it comfortable for Arsenal.

Obviously, it was a big moment for him to come in an Arsenal shirt in the States and play in front of the crowd and he did well. The way he has settled in, he’s an extraordinary character, a lot of personality and he’s great at what we want. But they are not just 9s, they have all the qualities for the way we play, they are fantastic. He has a lot of leadership skills, I can see straight away what he’s doing with the boys and he’s the type of guy that we want. He’s a real threat and this is what we need. So it’s what is available and what the team needs. But not on his own sometimes, but don’t close that door because Gabby in relation to what the opponent does in certain games we are going to have to use him in different positions. It depends, look at Harry Kane, look at Haaland. I think at the moment there are certain strikers that are available, they grow, they have their moments in European football. We were a threat all the time, we had a lot of bodies attacking. They are looking for him, he’s generating chances, good connections around specific spaces we want to exploit with him especially, and yeah, we’re really happy. We understood where the spaces were and the execution was really good. I think the first half we were really good, really intense.

Gabriel and Ben White were a solid partnership last season, but the return of William Saliba from Marseille could leave the manager changing his backline to fit everyone in.

For the second time in as many pre-season matches, Gabriel Martinelli was shifted to left-wing back. Ben Godfrey flew in on Jesus but the Brazilian had the last laugh.

Always want to be on the ball and got Everton upfield with his running on more than one occasion. That was really the only way you'd know he was on the pitch. Good intent to drive Everton forward from midfield and full of running. Helpless as Saka touched home the second and was later booked for a robust tackle on Jesus. Dominic Calvert-Lewin – 6.5 Jesus scored one, created another and his movement was crucial to tying the Arsenal attack together. With the ball at his feet, however, the midfielder was surprisingly wasteful, gifting Everton a couple of half-chances. Redeemed partially with stops from Jesus and Saka. Abdoulaye Doucoure – 6.5 Brings intensity and bite to Arteta's side. American was cheered more for his local ties than any meaningful contributions. Matt Turner – 6.5

He's certainly an upgrade over some of the center backs that Arteta had to use last season, and with Arsenal looking to win Europa Leauge, Saliba's performances will be critical if he stays with the club, offering them a formidable option that looks ready for a big role. As the team gets better, Arsenal want to impose their will onto teams by pushing a high line and dissecting the field with quick passing movements. Returning to Arsenal a more confident player than he left, Saliba is the type of modern defender that can help in what Arteta wants to do. He's evolved the way we wanted, and today I think he had a good performance," Arteta said about Saliba's performance. Saliba starred on loan with Olympique Marseille last season leading them to a second-place finish in Ligue 1. "I'm excited to see him.
