Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher believes Arsenal already have the perfect solution to their problems on the left-hand side of their attack.
Carragher heaped praise on new signing Christos Tzolis for his display in the 3-0 win over Coventry City, grabbing an assist for Bukayo Saka's goal.
The Greek winger completed a £34m move from Club Brugge as the Gunners look to retain their Premier League crown and go one further in the Champions League.
Many fans presumed Tzolis would be the like for like replacement for Leandro Trossard, who left the Gunners to join Besiktas after helping the club win their first top-flight title in over two decades.
However, the Greek has shone in pre-season and showd in the win over Manchester City in the Community Shield that he isn't here to make up the numbers.
Arsenal are in the market for another left winger and had been linked with a sensational summer transfer swoop for Vinicius Junior from Real Madrid, prior to the Brazilian signing a new deal at the Bernabeu.

The Gunners are still on the hunt for more quality in the final third and have been linked with the likes of Julian Alvarez, Bradley Barcola and Kenan Yildiz.
All three would command huge transfer fees, and Carragher believes Arsenal may have already found the answer to their lack of goals and assist from that area of the pitch.

Speaking on Sky Sports after Arsenal's win over Coventry City, Carragher said: "Tzolis has been excellent on his Premier League debut. What a left winger Arsenal have got."
Arteta also heaped praise on the new arrival following the win over the Sky Blues and said: "I love that a player that has been with us just for a few weeks gets this kind of energy every time he's on the ball. I think he's earned it.
"I think the way he has performed in the last few games has been phenomenal. What he transmits as a player is so direct, so incisive, constantly. He wants to make things happen, and he has done an incredible variety of actions in the last 30 metres.
"I think it's up to him to make the right decisions. Even the spaces are sometimes really, really small. I'm very happy with him.
"It was great because the start is always tricky; we played a team that had a long time to prepare as well, and they are really good at what they do, but I've been really impressed with what I have seen so far."
