Yorke reflects the ability to create opportunities for value and fills the long-term vacancy of Arsenal

Yorkecres scored his first goal at Arsenal against Athletic Bilbao and showed off his signature celebratory move.

He not only scored by himself, but also played a key role in the second goal. At the end of the game, Yorke's exquisite header was thrown into the goal frame, and Havertz, who came on as a substitute, also scored.

Yorcres' performance proves his worth. Although it was difficult for teammates to find the new player in previous friendly matches, he was very active in this game. Yorke's arrival fills a long-standing vacancy for Arsenal, a striker who can create opportunities.

Zubimedi was equally outstanding, with his active scrambling and quick passes in the midfield being impressive. His passes created goals for Yorke and demonstrated his value as the core of the midfield. Nico Williams was once Arsenal's target, but eventually renewed his contract with Athletic Bilbao until 2035. In this game, due to insufficient midfield control, Nico failed to show his strength and seemed a little isolated and helpless.

Gabriel and Saliba will start together before the Premier League opening match against Manchester United next Sunday, which is a big benefit for Arsenal. The Brazilian player underwent hamstring surgery in April this year and made a substitute in Wednesday's game. His starting further demonstrates that he is ready for the new season. Gabriel seemed at ease on the court, showing no signs of being troubled by injuries. While we can't expect him to return to 100% immediately, he still struggles in his usual way and looks certain to start against Manchester United.

In corner defense, Gabriel became an opponent's trouble as always, commanding the back line well with Saliba. He still maintains a strong sense of presence during the confrontation and is not afraid of physical confrontation, which is an important sign of his return from injury. The tacit understanding between Saliba and Gabriel were obvious when they played at the same time. In fact, Athletic Bilbao has almost no chance in the offensive third zone because Arsenal's defense is very well organized.

Havertz missed most of the games at the end of last season due to a torn hamstring, and his return is equally commendable. The German player became significantly stronger during his recovery and made a substitute in the 71st minute, which quickly had an impact. Eleven minutes later, after receiving a long pass from Saka, Havertz easily got rid of the two defenders, broke into the penalty area and completed the goal. This goal means a lot to him, especially as new player Yorke has shown strength.

In the center position, the competition is very fierce. Havertz offers a different option than Yorke and will go all out to keep his place. This is undoubtedly an expected situation.
