Former Arsenal defender William Gallas recently shared his thoughts on which Liverpool player he would choose to play for his old club. Gallas named Trent Alexander-Arnold, who has become one of the best right-backs in the world since joining Liverpool's first team in 2017. With his incredible passing and set-piece abilities, the 26-year-old has captured the attention of many top clubs, including Real Madrid.
Gallas acknowledged that current Arsenal right-back Ben White may be better defensively, but he would still choose Alexander-Arnold to join the Gunners. "Offensively, Alexander-Arnold can give you so much. He creates goals, his passing is superb, and he can take really good set pieces," Gallas said in an interview with Prime Casino.
Liverpool has had a sensational start to the season under new boss Arne Slot, winning seven of their first eight Premier League games and remaining unbeaten in the Champions League. Gallas believes that Liverpool's defense looks more solid than Arsenal's at the moment, which could be attributed to Slot's management. "Alexander-Arnold makes fewer mistakes right now. Konate looks superb. We will have to see if they can keep things this tight throughout the season," Gallas commented.
The two Premier League rivals will face off at the Emirates on Sunday, and Gallas believes it will be a difficult game for Arsenal. "Liverpool look strong and full of energy. They have that confidence, and Salah is almost back to his absolute best," Gallas said. He also highlighted the importance of a win for Arsenal, especially after their recent loss to Bournemouth. "They don't have a choice. If they got the three points against Bournemouth and a draw against Liverpool, it wouldn't be a problem. But now, they must win," Gallas explained.
Despite the tough competition, Gallas remains optimistic about Arsenal's chances in the game. "It will be a good game, but a difficult one for Arsenal. Liverpool are the slight favorites here," he said. He also emphasized the need for Arsenal to respond quickly and regain their top form. "They must respond quickly. You have to be realistic, and that's why I'm saying that Liverpool are the slight favorites here," Gallas concluded.
