Arsenal should break the bank for two attackers who can score like Erling Haaland, Emmanuel Petit has said. He, however, urged the Gunners to avoid Alexander Isak, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, he sees players like Nico Williams and Ivan Toney can do the job for Mikel Arteta next season because they can both score as many goals as Haaland does for Man City.
He added that Isak should be avoided because of high price that will only fund Newcastle United.
His words, “I really like Nico Williams and could play up front for Arsenal. He’s very fast, can be an independent goalscorer and combines with teammates. A lot of people said signing Haaland for Man City was a mistake, but the way they control the ball in the opponent’s half, they can create lots of chances for him.
Arsenal need a 20-goals-per-season striker, they currently have a few players who can score 10-15 goals per season, like how Man City used to be. Pep Guardiola changed the system because he knew he needed a striker who could score lots of goals. In Erling Haaland’s first season, he broke goal-scoring records and won the Champions League. Mikel Arteta will follow the steps of Guardiola, the way their teams play and a striker would be a cherry on top of the cake. I think Nico Williams or Ivan Toney could score as many goals as Haaland does for Man City at Arsenal.
I don’t think it would be a good decision by Arsenal to buy Isak for a big price. Arsenal’s transfer policy is very good, and they should keep their policy rather than fund clubs like Chelsea, Newcastle or those kinds of clubs. Arsenal shouldn’t splash their money like that. Isak would be a good addition to the squad, but there are players outside of England that could have the same impact.”
WOW.
