Arsenal’s Gabriel Magalhaes expressed concern about a former teammate, Bradley Ibrahim, who has struggled to find his footing since departing the Gunners. Despite a £25 million move to Hertha Berlin, Ibrahim’s transition has been fraught with challenges, with reports indicating a loss of speed and robustness. In January, Ibrahim’s departure from Arsenal marked the beginning of a new chapter with Hertha Berlin, aiming for more playing time in the Bundesliga. However, early signs suggest a rocky start for the 18-year-old midfielder, as he grapples with adapting to his new environment under manager Pol Dardai. Expectations were high for Ibrahim’s seamless integration into Hertha Berlin’s squad, but criticisms have emerged regarding his playing style, including excessive ball possession and unnecessary tackles. Additionally, concerns linger about his pace and physicality, crucial attributes for success in professional football. Currently relegated to Hertha Berlin’s U23 team, Ibrahim faces a pivotal moment in his career, with pressure to address these deficiencies and compete for a spot in the first team. His situation mirrors his struggles at Arsenal, highlighting the need for self-improvement to overcome obstacles and fulfill his potential in the footballing world.
