Arsenal transfer targets: Emmanuel Petit recommends Bayern duo for the Gunners

Arsenal legend Emmanuel Petit has offered his insights on potential transfer targets for his former club, suggesting that Bayern Munich stars Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka would be valuable additions to the Gunners’ squad.

Petit, known for his successful stint with Arsenal, believes that the experience these two players bring could significantly benefit the team. Despite Arsenal’s recent signings, including the likes of Declan Rice, David Raya, Kai Havertz, and Jurrien Timber during the summer, Petit emphasizes the need for seasoned players who know how to win and have experience in big games.

Expressing his views to Compare Bet, Petit stated, “In my opinion, this is a team that needs experience. I know they want to buy young players with room to improve, and I can understand that, but I think they need players that know how to win and have experience in big games.”

Identifying Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka as the main targets, Petit praised their incredible skills and substantial experience at Bayern Munich. He suggested that both players, having been with Bayern for a while, might be open to a new challenge, making them ideal candidates for Arsenal.

“Goretzka has played at such a high level for so long and is still only 28, and I think Kimmich would be great for Arsenal, even if the price tag may be a bit expensive,” added Petit.

As Arsenal aims to strengthen its squad, Petit’s recommendations highlight the importance of combining youthful talent with experienced players to create a well-rounded and competitive team.
