Mikel Arteta told sign 36-goal star and take Arsenal to ‘the next level’

Ex-Arsenal defender William Gallas believes Julian Alvarez would be a ‘great signing’ for his former club and insists he would take the team to ‘the next level’.

ARSENAL have challenged for the Premier League over the last two seasons and look like the side that could end the winning streak of Manchester City – but many believe that the club needs a new striker to really win that title.

Alvarez has scored 36 goals in 103 appearances for Manchester City since joining them from boyhood club River Plate in 2022, but he has opened the door to a potential move away from the club after revealing that he is no happy with the game time that he gets.

Mikel Arteta worked at Man City as Pep Guardiola’s assistant and has twice raided his former club since joining Arsenal, bringing Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko to the Emirates Stadium, and Alvarez is a player that he reportedly admires.

Now – amid all the speculation and rumours – Gallas has come out and encouraged the Gunners to make a move for Alvarez as he would be a ‘great signing’ for the Gunners that would help take the club to that next level: ‘Julian Alvarez would be a great signing for Arsenal,’ Gallas told Genting Casino.

‘He is a world champion, Copa America winner, won the Premier League twice in a row and won the Champions League.

‘He has played most of City’s important games and is a starter for Argentina, he would bring so much winning experience to Arsenal and he looks like a player that wants to reach his very highest level by playing as many minutes as possible.

‘Alvarez would take Arsenal to the next level, I don’t know if he could score 20 goals but he can play on the flank or behind the striker and be very influential.’

Guardiola does not want to sell Alvarez – and we dont believe he will allow the striker to join Arsenal knowing just how much he would improve that ARSENAL attack.

This wont happen.
