Arsenal told the player ‘that needs to be signed’ and will make Martin Odegaard ‘even better’

Manchester United legend Paul Scholes, considered one of the best midfielders England has ever produced, believes ARSENAL star Martin Odegaard is ‘brilliant’ but says he would benefit from playing with a ‘a proper centre forward’.

Arsenal have been playing brilliantly in recent weeks and picked up some stunning results, most recently that shock 5-1 in over Premier League Champions Manchester City, which sent shockwaves throughout Europe.

Gabriel Jesus is once again out for the rest of the season, while Kai Havertz is not a striker that can score 25-30 goals a season, and many hope that Arsenal will eventually delve into that transfer kitty to try and add a better forward to that front line.

The likes of Benjamin Sesko, Bryan Mbeumo, Dusan Vlahovic and Yoane Wissa have all been linked with a move to the Emirates, as well as Ollie Watkins and Alexander Isak, And Scholes believes that Odegaard will become even better if the Gunners sign  a proper centre forward.

‘Imagine him with a centre forward, though. With a proper centre forward,’ Scholes said on The Overlap when discussing Odegaard’s form at Arsenal.

‘Martin Odegaard is a brilliant player, he can put a ball anywhere he wants. He hasn’t got that in front of him, a No. 10 needs that in front of him.

‘I don’t think Kai Havertz is that type of player, even though he might make the odd run here and there.

‘You’re thinking Isak or Duran, the lad from Villa, if he had that in front of him, it makes him become a better player as well because he’s move involved with goals.’

Reporter Iomie Stanley says…

ARSENAL needs a striker, what they have right now will not win that Premier League of Champions League title, they need to invest in somebody that can lead that front-line and put away chances that come easily.

Odegaard is brilliant and a creative genius, if he had Sesko, Isak or even Watkins ahead of him, his numbers would go through the roof, Arsenal need to sign someone in the summer after failing to sign anybody in January.
