Ahead of their Premier League match against Burnley, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has called up Miguel Azeez for first-team training. This decision follows Arsenal’s victory over Sevilla in the Champions League and the announcement of Thomas Partey‘s absence. Azeez, a 21-year-old midfielder, might offer an internal solution to the midfield challenges caused by Partey’s injury.
Azeez’s Return and Partey’s Injury
Miguel Azeez recently returned to Arsenal after a tough loan period at Wigan Athletic. Despite his difficulties, he stayed with Arsenal, awaiting a chance to demonstrate his abilities. Moreover, the club’s failure to find a replacement for the injured Thomas Partey led Arteta to consider internal options.
Partey’s injury, needing minor surgery, is likely to sideline him for a considerable time, possibly until January. Moreover, with limited transfer market options, Arteta is looking to his current squad for answers. With Partey out of action, Azeez would have a very good opportunity to showcase his talent and become an integral part of the Gunners.
Azeez’s Playing Style and Busquets Comparison
Azeez was at Arsenal’s London Colney training ground, taking part in first-team training sessions. His inclusion indicates that Arteta views him as a potential solution to fill Partey’s absence.
People recognize Miguel Azeez, a defensive midfielder, for his calmness with the ball and long-range scoring ability. His playing style during his youth at Arsenal has drawn comparisons to Barcelona great Sergio Busquets. Azeez has shown admiration for Busquets and aims to mirror the Spanish star’s skills.
Mikel Arteta’s choice to bring Azeez into first-team training before the Burnley match highlights his confidence in the young midfielder. Azeez’s style, reminiscent of Sergio Busquets, could provide Arsenal a new midfield alternative during Thomas Partey’s recovery. As Azeez advances and gains more experience at the senior level, Arsenal might see the rise of a talented player.
