Carragher Says Arsenal Need a Stronger Left Wing and a More Reliable Striker
Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has shared his thoughts on Arsenal’s current squad, suggesting that the Gunners need to strengthen in two key areas if they are to improve their chances of success in the future.
Carragher, who has been a regular pundit on Sky Sports since retiring from professional football, believes Arsenal’s squad is lacking in depth in both the left-wing and center-forward positions.
According to Carragher, Arsenal’s lack of a reliable starter on the left side of attack is a major issue.
Currently, manager Mikel Arteta has Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Martinelli competing for the spot, with neither player consistently cementing their place in the lineup.
Martinelli, known for his pace and direct running, has shown flashes of brilliance but has struggled with injuries and form this season.
On the other hand, Trossard, who joined Arsenal from Brighton & Hove Albion in 2023, has impressed when given the chance but doesn’t offer the same explosive qualities as Martinelli.
Carragher pointed out that while these two players have potential, Arsenal might need to bring in someone more dependable for the left-wing role.
“I’ve always had reservations about Arsenal winning the title, and I’ve said it before,” Carragher explained.
“I’ve always felt they were missing a key player in attack. It’s not necessarily that they need a traditional striker, but they certainly need an upgrade on that left side.
Whether it’s Martinelli, Trossard, or Havertz up front, Arsenal need something more in those positions if they want to compete at the very top level.”
Kevin De Bruyne, who is set to part ways with Manchester City at the end of this season, has opened up about his future—hinting that staying in the Premier League might still be on the table. The 33-year-old midfield maestro confirmed that he’s already in talks with several clubs as he prepares to leave City as a free agent.
Speaking in a recent interview, De Bruyne shared that family considerations could influence whether he stays in England. “I’m having conversations with clubs right now,” he said. “I want to keep playing good football. Whether I remain in England really depends on who’s interested… I’ve got a family and kids, so I have to make a decision that works for all of us.”
De Bruyne joined Manchester City in 2015 from Wolfsburg and has since built a remarkable legacy. Over nearly a decade, he’s helped the club secure six Premier League titles, two FA Cups, and the coveted Champions League trophy in 2023 under Pep Guardiola.
Real Madrid’s outgoing manager Carlo Ancelotti has sent a clear message to Barcelona following their LaLiga title win this season. While he acknowledged that Barcelona played well and fully deserved the championship, Ancelotti warned that next season will not be the same.
Speaking about the season, the 65-year-old praised Hansi Flick’s Barcelona for their quality football and solid performance. “Barcelona did very well this season. They played good football and deserved to win the league,” he said.
However, Ancelotti was quick to add that things will change in the upcoming season, hinting at a tougher challenge ahead for the Catalan club. Ancelotti is set to leave Real Madrid soon to become the head coach of Brazil’s national team.
Before he departs, he will manage Madrid in two final matches against Sevilla and Real Sociedad. The Italian coach leaves Real Madrid as the club’s most successful manager, having won 15 trophies across two spells.
Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah has publicly encouraged Kevin De Bruyne to consider joining the Reds this summer. De Bruyne is set to leave Manchester City when his contract expires in June, and he has hinted that he’s open to playing for another Premier League club. While there’s been talk of interest from Major League Soccer in the US, Salah made it clear that Liverpool would welcome the Belgian midfielder with open arms.
Speaking to Sky Sports, Salah praised De Bruyne’s career and his impact on English football. “I want to say congratulations on an incredible career,” Salah said. “He’s done amazing work at City and has been a key player for the league.” With Liverpool now Premier League champions, fans will be eager to see if De Bruyne takes up Salah’s invitation and joins the fight at Anfield.
