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.”
It has been reported that the player, Casemiro, is currently being looked at by two clubs.
The two clubs were identified as Inter Miami and LA Galaxy, as the clubs intend to have signed the player by summertime.
It was revealed that the player is most likely going to move to MLS, and the player already confirmed that he will leave Old Trafford when his contract ends this season.
It has been reported that four players from Arsenal were not in the current training in preparation for their match against Atletico Madrid.
It can be noted that this will be the club’s semi-final match. The four players were identified as the team’s captain, Martin Odegaard, Kai Havertz, Jurrien Timber, and Mikel Merino.
However, with this, Saka was spotted at training and might just be there for the next match.
Former footballer Jamie Carragher has shared his thoughts on who will come out victorious in the upcoming match between Manchester United and Liverpool.
It can be noted that the match is set to take place on May 3, 2026.
Carragher predicted that Liverpool will win 2–1, but added, “I don’t fully believe it, but I hope it.”
