Gallas suggests Arsenal should let go of two players to support Gyokeres.

William Gallas, a former defender for Arsenal, recently shared his thoughts on the team's performance and potential changes for the upcoming summer transfer window. He believes that Mikel Arteta, the current manager, should consider replacing two players and bring in new additions to improve the team's overall performance. Gallas specifically mentioned Viktor Gyokeres, who joined Arsenal last summer for a whopping £64 million from Sporting.

While Gyokeres has scored 18 goals in his first season, he has also received criticism for his playing style. Many experts and pundits have questioned whether Gyokeres is the right fit to lead Arsenal's attack, with Jamie Carragher even stating that the team needs a better striker. Gallas, on the other hand, believes that Gyokeres can excel at Arsenal but only if the team changes their style of play and provides him with better service.

He mentioned that Arteta has talented wingers like Bukayo Saka and Noni Madueke on the right, but he is concerned about the stagnation of Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard on the left. Gallas is surprised by Martinelli's lackluster performance this season, with only one goal in the Premier League. He also described Trossard as a "squad player" and believes that Arsenal may need to sign a world-class left winger to support Gyokeres.

When asked about potential signings for Arsenal, Gallas mentioned that the team has a good squad but may benefit from a change in their style of play or a new striker. He explained that when Arsenal plays on the counter-attack, the midfielders tend to hold onto the ball instead of looking for Gyokeres, who prefers to receive the ball in the open space. This could be a contributing factor to his lower goal-scoring numbers compared to his time in Portugal.

Gallas also suggested that Arsenal may need to change their striker if they want to stick to their current style of play. With Gyokeres being left out of the starting lineup for Arsenal's recent match against Manchester City, Gallas believes that the Swede will need to step up and score at least 20 goals next season. He also expressed concern about Martinelli's declining performance and Trossard's limited impact as a squad player.

When asked if he would prefer Khvicha Kvaratskhelia or Bradley Barcola for Arsenal, Gallas chose Barcola. In conclusion, Gallas believes that Arsenal has a strong squad but may need to make some changes in order to compete for titles. He also mentioned that Gyokeres will need better support from his teammates to reach his full potential, and it remains to be seen if Arsenal will make any moves in the upcoming transfer window.
