Former Liverpool player Michael Owen has recommended three new signings to improve the current Arsenal team after the Gunners dropped points in the Premier League title race.
Mikel Arteta’s side is still in the race, but they are now behind Manchester City, making it harder for them to win the title.
However, Arsenal has been making progress over the last two seasons and they will want to maintain that momentum in the next campaign.
To stay at this level and win the league, they have to improve their squad further and Owen has recommended three players who can make them better.
He said, as quoted by The Sun:
“He (Olie Watkins) is a player who is getting better and better year on year.
“He’s the type of player who could go into the Arsenal team, whether or not they can buy him is another thing.
“There are a lot of players in the Premier League at the moment who would probably be an upgrade on what Arsenal have right now.
“You’re looking at [Alexander] Isak up at Newcastle, maybe Ivan Toney at Brentford and Ollie Watkins at Aston Villa.”
Just Arsenal Opinion
We need to make new signings to improve our group and they have to be the right players who will instantly take us to the next level.
The players Owen has recommended are all very good strikers who have proven to be important contributors to their clubs in the Premier League so far.
ADMIN COMMENT
So here are some simple rules which I must insist commenters follow….
You agree not to give any personal abuse to other Arsenal fans. Everyone is allowed to hold their own opinions even if you disagree with them. It COSTS NOTHING TO BE POLITE TO OTHER ARSENAL FANS.
Isak won’t come cheap! Better go with Goykeres or if he becomes inaccessible, we get Sesko but not Zirkzee. Sesko or Loic Openda is my choice if Amorin decides to put goykeres in his handbag to Liverpool
We need Watkins/Boniface/ Vlahovic,
Watkins is likely to attract FFP because he’ll cost a fortune.
Even if we get a new striker, I worry that Arteta will continue to find a place for Havertz in the lineup. Havertz’s inclusion has not improved us this season, I believe he has halted our free-flowing play progression from the previous seasons under Arteta.
I would like to see Havertz benched for a run of games even if only to test a plan B.
Fans who justify his inclusion simply because he has got better are missing the fact that his ability is limited and not suitable for Arsenal.
Havertz is better than Jesus all day everyday.
The best way for us to move forward is a top class left or right winger and a proper cm so rice can play 6. A fully fit and injury free Neto would be the dream however Sane and Leao wouldnt be the end of the world
Watkins is already 28, although he doesn’t look it, so probably would be best to go for someone younger.
