Former Manchester City player Micah Richards recently shared his thoughts on Arsenal's performance in the Premier League. According to Richards, Arsenal has been "outstanding" this season, but they will need to sign a new striker if they want to win the league. He believes that Gabriel Jesus has not met expectations and that Arsenal should also strengthen their defensive midfielder position.
Richards expressed his admiration for Arsenal's progress in the last few seasons and the feeling that they are close to winning the Premier League title. However, he also pointed out that they are still one or two players away from ending their 20-year drought. He mentioned the need for a quality striker and a defensive midfielder, specifically naming Declan Rice as a potential signing.
Despite the emergence of young players like Leandro Trossard, Kai Havertz, and Bukayo Saka, Arsenal has been criticized for their lack of a natural No.9. Jesus, who was signed from Manchester City in 2022, has not been as prolific as expected and has struggled with injuries. As a result, Arsenal has been linked with strikers such as Ivan Toney and Viktor Gyokeres.
Premier League legend Alan Shearer also weighed in on Arsenal's season, praising their progress and suggesting that they are only a few players away from challenging for the title. He acknowledged that it must be disappointing for Arsenal to come so close and not win, but he believes they should use this as motivation for next season.
In the end, both Richards and Shearer recognized the challenge of competing against an incredible team like Manchester City, led by the renowned manager Pep Guardiola. They believe that Arsenal's progress and ability to compete until the final day of the season is an achievement in itself, and they hope that Arsenal will use this experience as a positive for the future.
