We asked AI for goal scoring predictions for Arsenal in the forthcoming season, and the results will leave the Emirates faithful optimistic.
Arsenal were involved in the Premier League title race last season before eventually conceding to Liverpool after being bitten by the injury bug. Mikel Arteta and his boys will be determined to improve their performance and thereby have a better chance at winning their first title in over two decades.
We at Essential Football asked Artificial Intelligence mammoth, ChapGPT to predict the top goal scorers for Arsenal in the 2025/26 season – the results are a little surprising.
Here are AI’s predicted top goal scorers for the upcoming season.
Viktor Gyokeres
Gyokeres was the most wanted man by Arsenal this summer and is unsurprisingly in the 1st position with 16-19 goals predicted by artificial intelligence.
A prediction that all Arsenal fans will hope the Swedish hitman will far exceed as he scored 54 goals in 52 games while playing for Sporting Lisbon and leading them to the title in Portugal.
Bukayo Saka
Despite not living up to the expectations in front of goal, with only 6 PL goals to his credit last season, this was largely due to an extended period on the sidelines due to injury.
Saka is in joint 2nd and expected to enjoy a much brighter season with artificial intelligence predicting the Englishman to find the back of the net on 10-15 occasions.
Kai Havertz
The German international was the side’s top goal scorer last season but is unlikely to maintain the position in the upcoming season.
Havertz finished the previous campaign with 9 goals and AI projects him to finish joint 2nd and score as many as 10-15 goals goals this season.
Gabriel Martinelli
The Brazilian winger is also predicted to finish in joint 2nd place and is projected to also find the back of the net on 10-15 occasions.
Martinelli finished last season with 8 goals to his credit but he is a better finisher than that and if he can avoid the injuries of last season he should deliver a better return.
Martin Ødegaard
The Arsenal skipper was unfairly criticised for his performances last season and was inconsistent in front of goal only scoring 3 PL goals.
The Norwegian playmaker was injured for a large part of the season after picking up a serious injury whilst on international duty.
AI predicts he will have a better season finishing in 5th position with 5-10 goals in the 2025/26 campaign but his role is likely to be more about creating chances for new man Viktor Gyokeres.
Arsenal are still active in the transfer market and are linked with the signing of several players. Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace is one of the players who could be joining the north London this summer if Arsenal can get the deal over the line.
