Former Arsenal star Eduardo has advised the Gunners to keep away from making a transfer for Marcus Rashford in the summertime.
Eduardo’s feedback in fact come after Arsenal had been linked with the Manchester United man and after the participant himself, for what was seemingly the primary time, admitted earlier this 12 months he may very well be open to enjoying someplace apart from Manchester United: “I might by no means say no (to enjoying in a foreign country).
“I’m a giant fan of Actual Madrid and Barcelona, as a result of they’ve at all times had nice gamers and performed engaging soccer. Everyone watches Actual Madrid and Barcelona.”
And while Rashford’s kind has been fairly woeful of late, it’s not his lack of targets that inspired Eduardo to warn Arsenal in opposition to signing Rashford.
As a substitute, Eduardo advised his former membership to keep away from Rashford as he’s not used as a striker:
“Marcus Rashford is without doubt one of the names who has been linked with Arsenal this summer time. However is he the correct participant to come back in and fill that position as a quantity 9? No,” he mentioned.
“He doesn’t play as a striker for Manchester United, so why would Arsenal deliver him in in the event that they want a striker? I don’t know if he has the correct capability to come back in and do the job Arsenal would wish him to do.”
Arsenal want a striker
And given the present state of Arsenal’s hanging division, it’s simple to see why Eduardo could have these ideas.
Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah are the Gunners’ solely pure no.9s at current and each are out of contract in the summertime.
And even when Lacazette does signal an extension, he has scored simply two league targets from open play this time period, which is just not sufficient for any facet, by no means thoughts one with top-four ambitions.
