Referring to him as a complete midfielder.
Perhaps he still has a future with Arteta ?

I loved him when he first arrived, as I did KT. Both would have been great under AW but I don't think either fit MA's 4-1-2-3 or W-M formation. Sambi's a box-to-box 8 in a 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3. I can't see him either as a DM {when we have Rice, Jorgy and hopefully still Partey} or a "left-8" when we have Kai/ESR/Fabio or when we play Dec there ahead of a DM like Jorgy for tough matches.
I wish him well, and hope he comes good {except against us} but I fear his skill-set doesn't fit MA. Perhaps he could play Granit's left-8 like Kai does. But he dropped off with us when he stopped starting, and I fear he wouldn't be able to learn the role with a few appearances off the bench. And you don't need him as DM when you have pwoppa ones like Dec, Jorgy and a fit TP5.
