"He's had a breakout season at Arsenal because he's now been freed up to explore what it's like in the other penalty area. Kobe has the ability to do that, too. Now it is up to his managers: can they allow him to do what he's great at - breaking things up, using his energy - but then also encourage him to get further forward."Mainoo played a total of 32 first-team appearances during the 2023–24 campaign, providing a respectable return of five goals in the process.
