Arteta is known to admire Alvarez’s tactical flexibility and his ability to operate in multiple attacking roles. That versatility is believed to be central to Arsenal’s thinking as they shape their long-term attacking structure. The manager values players capable of adapting within his system and has praised Alvarez’s capacity to “fit into multiple roles in a team”. That adaptability would allow Arsenal to use him primarily on the wing while still providing cover across the front line when required.
