Striker – Patrick Cutrone

This was the hardest position to pick in this combined AC Milan & Arsenal XI, and not because their was an overhaul of talent either. With Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang being cup tied and Alexandre Lacazette still recovering from injury, there was only really one choice.

Patrick Cutrone has been a regular in the Europa League this season, picking up seven appearances in the competition. During this time, he has picked up four goals and provided one assist.

It’s hard to believe the Italian is just 20 years old, he’s definitely one to look out for in the future. He can sometimes drift off the to the left side of attack, so Arsenal’s defense must be wary of this if they are to isolate him.
