Joe Cole Encourages Arsenal to Sign Marcus Rashford to Strengthen Their Left-Flank Attack
Former England international and Chelsea star Joe Cole has urged Arsenal to consider signing Marcus Rashford from Manchester United, believing the forward could be a valuable addition to the Gunners’ attack.
Speaking with TNT Sports, Cole emphasized that Arsenal needs to aim for elite talent to reinforce their left-wing options if they want to remain competitive at the top of the Premier League.
The suggestion comes amid growing speculation that Rashford might be on the chopping block at Manchester United following an underwhelming season.
Despite his undeniable talent and previous goal-scoring feats, Rashford’s recent performances have lacked consistency.
This has fueled rumors that the Red Devils could be open to letting him go, especially as the club undergoes a rebuild under Erik ten Hag.
Cole sees this potential availability as a golden opportunity for Arsenal.
He said, “If Marcus Rashford is available, he’d be a hell of a signing for Arsenal.
That’s the level they need to be looking at, especially for the left flank.
Arsenal need to target the very best if they want to improve.”
Arsenal’s right flank, led by the ever-reliable Bukayo Saka and the versatile Kai Havertz, has been one of their strong suits this season.
Super Eagles defender Calvin Bassey has opened up about a difficult period in his career, revealing that he almost stepped away from football.
Speaking during a recent interview, Bassey shared that he once made a personal promise to himself to quit pursuing football professionally if he failed to secure a spot at a professional club.
“I remember being 15 and going into my final year, and I told myself that if I didn’t get into a professional club, I would quit football. It was that simple,” he said.
“I would just stop pursuing it seriously and only play for fun. Thank God I eventually got a club, because I honestly don’t know where I would be otherwise.”
It has been reported that the Confederation of African Football (CAF) fined Egypt $5,000 following their clash with Zimbabwe for failing to manage post-match media obligations.
It was noted that after the match, the Egyptian players ignored the media. This action was said to be a violation of CAF’s media regulations, which led to the fine being imposed.
Head of the Super Eagles, Eric Chelle, shared that the big-name players on the team are not happy about being benched.
He recalled when he took out Samuel Chukwueze during the match against Tanzania.
“Yes, of course, we’ve in this team a lot of big names. They are competitors; they aren’t happy when they go to the bench,” Chelle said at his post-match interview.”
“My job is to make choices, and we’re playing a 4-4-2 diamond, and at this moment I feel we have to protect the wing.”
