2. Versatility
All the attacking players who have been linked with Arsenal this January have been versatile forwards capable of playing either as a striker or on the wings, and Rodrigo is no different. The former Real Madrid youth product is a versatile forward who is equally adept at playing as the striker, on the left or the right wing, or even in the hole behind the centre forward.
The left-footed forward has great dribbling ability and ball control, allowing him to beat players using his speed as well as skill. He has decent vision and awareness and can pick out player in the box who are in better scoring positions if need be. According to Transfrmarkt, Rodrigo has given 10 assists during his stay in Lisbon, which suggests that he can create chances for his team mates as well.
