Not at all. They need a pure scorer and finisher who is alright with ball.
They don't need an all around flexible forward who can dribble, play wide, drop down, tackle, create etc. But can't score volume of goals.
They already have Gabriel Jesus for that. Or Havertz.
Zirkzee is awesome, but in a Firmino type way, he needs to play with a CR7 or Salah types that score alot from wing. Saka is class, but he ain't that. So what Arsenal need is a nr 9 that scores slot. Not defers to Saka and does all the intangible things in build up.

After the Polish goalkeeper, he is the most capped player.
Lots of criticism, but yet in his b2b role he does the job. He is the only player in midfield who has an international level and who has a market value. Letting him go is 30-40 million thrown out the window. There is already enough work to strengthen this midfield, there is no need to complicate the task even more.

I defenitely think Motta tactic will suit Rabiot, a physical and athletic b2b mid who will thrive on a drilled possession system where you just expected to move in waves into final rhird channels.
That kind of system will simplify things and bring out mainly strengths of nr 8 types, not expected to do too much.
its what i hated about how they played under allegri these past couple of years. Everyone was so isolated with basically zero off ball movement. Why everyone, but specifically the mids, looked so shit imo. I dont even know what his general plan of attack was in possession. Ping it wide and hope a cross finds someone? Dunno how any mid is supposed to thrive in such a system.
