Former Arsenal and Chelsea midfielder Emmanuel Petit believes the two London clubs should make moves this summer to further bolster their squads ahead of the new Premier League season.
Petit believes Arsenal and Chelsea have done well in the transfer window by signing Declan Rice, Jurrien Timber, Kai Havertz, Nicolas Jackson, Christopher Nkunku, and Kendry Paez. However, he believes they still need two more players to reduce the gap with Manchester City.
The Frenchman is adamant that his dream signing for Arsenal is Brighton star Moises Caicedo. Arsenal had previously shown interest in signing the Ecuadorian in January, while Chelsea have already made three unsuccessful bids for him.
Petit believes that Caicedo will bring anger onto the pitch, as he possesses desire and leadership qualities. He has grown up quickly after the World Cup and Petit expressed no doubt that Chelsea need Caicedo.
Arsenal are also looking at Brentford goalkeeper David Raya and Southampton midfielder Romeo Lavia, while Chelsea are looking at Brighton shot-stopper Robert Sanchez and Monaco defender Axel Disasi.
Overall, Petit is very pleased with the progress made by both clubs in the transfer window and wants to see them fight for the title straight away. He believes that the faster the new players fit into the system, the better it will be for both clubs.
