Arsenal Legend Ian Wright tells Mikel Arteta to break the bank to sign £125M “world class” striker after spending over £200M last summer
Ian Wright, who used to play for Arsenal, has strongly pushed Mikel Arteta and Arsenal to spend £125 million on a “world-class” striker next summer. This plea comes after Arsenal spent more than £200 million to improve their team during the summer transfer window last year. Wright thinks that getting this great striker is important if they want to fight in the league with teams like Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City and try for a historic treble.
As the summer trade window gets closer, Arsenal wants to add to their attack because they know they need more firepower. People have questioned whether players like Eddie Nketiah and Gabriel Jesus can lead the team well from the striker position. During the last transfer window, Arsenal worked to improve their midfield and defence. Now, they want to improve their attacking choices.
Evan Ferguson, a star at Brighton who is only 18 years old, is on Arsenal’s list of possible players to sign. The young Irish scorer is making a name for himself in the Premier League. He has already scored four goals, which is a good start to the season. Reports say that Arsenal may be ready to make a big offer of £100 million to get his services in the summer transfer window. This amount is in line with Ferguson’s impressive form and potential.
During a discussion on PL Productions, Ian Wright argued passionately for Ferguson’s signing. He pointed out the player’s great qualities, such as his style of play, knowledge of the game, agility, skill with both feet, ability in the air, and speed. Wright talked about Ferguson’s maturity and bravery on the pitch, even though he was only 18 years old, and said that he could fit in with any top Premier League team. He is sure that Ferguson’s value will keep going up, making it harder and harder for Brighton to keep him.
Wright brought up Ferguson’s calm finishing and said that players like him are hard to find in the Premier League, especially at such a young age. He said that he thought Ferguson could follow in the footsteps of successful Brighton players like Leandro Trossard and Ben White and make a big difference at Arsenal if the move goes through.
