Emmanuel Petit Urges Arsenal to Sign Victor Osimhen
Former Arsenal player Emmanuel Petit has urged the club to sign Napoli striker Victor Osimhen this summer. Osimhen, who is set to leave Napoli, has attracted interest from top clubs including Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain. However, Petit believes that Osimhen could be the key difference for Arsenal in their pursuit of the Premier League title next season. Petit also suggested that Marcus Rashford would be a great addition to the team, as he can play both out wide and up front.
Busy Summer Ahead for Arsenal
According to Petit, Arsenal need to make four more signings in order to compete with Manchester City. He emphasized the importance of having a squad with incredible quality, similar to City’s ability to bring on five players of high caliber. Petit believes that Arsenal’s main challengers for the Premier League title are Manchester City and Liverpool. However, he is confident that Arsenal are on the same trajectory as Liverpool and will eventually win both the Premier League and the Champions League. Petit pointed out that this season, City did not win a single game against Liverpool or Arsenal, which is unprecedented. He believes that Arsenal’s close proximity to City in terms of performance indicates that they have the potential to challenge for titles in the near future.
An Open Field for Everyone
Petit acknowledged that reaching titles is an open field for all teams. However, he commended Manchester City for their historic achievement of winning four consecutive titles. Petit believes that the reduced gap between City and other top teams, including Arsenal, indicates a shift in the balance of power. He emphasized that Arsenal were extraordinarily unlucky this season, despite their strong performances against City and Liverpool. Petit concluded by stating that the Premier League title race is wide open and anything can happen in the coming seasons.
