Arsenal have been advised to sign Victor Osimhen and Rafael Leao to bolster their squad and mount a serious challenge for the Premier League title.
Mikel Arteta’s team have consistently fallen short of beating Manchester City to the crown, finishing second two years in a row. Former Arsenal star Emmanuel Petit believes the Gunners lack the depth required to win major silverware.
Petit identified Nigerian striker Osimhen, currently starring at Galatasaray on loan from Napoli, and AC Milan star Leao as the ideal signings to take Arsenal to the next level.
“My dream signings for Arsenal to win major silverware are Victor Osimhen and Rafael Leao,” Petit told Casino Hawks. “They need a striker like Osimhen and Leao would be perfect in a rotation with Gabriel Martinelli. They need that competition.”
Petit emphasised that Arsenal require additional depth to compete with other top teams. “I’ve said before that Arsenal don’t have the depth of other teams, and that’s what they need to add. Those players would take Arsenal to the next level and make them a real threat in both the Premier League and Champions League under Mikel Arteta.”
Arsenal are currently nine points behind Premier League leaders and face a crucial match against Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
