Frimpong: Isco would help Arsenal, as would Wenger’s experience
Former Gunners midfielder has spoken about the additions that should be made to Arsenal’s squad and the club's best choice for replacing Arteta.
There have been rumors about all kinds of changes on and off the Gunners field as the team has failed to establish a good form in 2020-21 under
Mikel Arteta
. The north London team have made their worst
Premier Leaguestart since 1974-75 and are currently in the 15th place in the League table with 14 points from their 14 league matches. January transfer window is an opportunity for the Gunners to improve their squad as many believe there is a problem of creativity in the team’s midfield.
Emmanuel Frimpong
believes that signing Real Madrid’s
Iscocould be a successful transfer for Arteta’s team.
“We need a centre-back and a full-back and midfielders,”
he told
PlayOJO
.
“It’s very important we get some players in because I feel in defence we are weak. When teams attack us, we look vulnerable.
“We’ve had this issue for many years and we haven’t sorted the situation out. Quality signings are the only thing that going to help the team at the moment.
“Isco is a proven player, he’s won the Champions League and played for Spain and could definitely help Arsenal, but the problem isn’t attacking players, its defensively we need help.”
Asked about his opinion on the main reason behind Arsenal’s current form, Frimpong responded:
“When I was at Arsenal, there was what you could call mediocre squad players, even at clubs like Real Madrid you have this structure, but at the moment, when you at looking at the Arsenal team, who are the stars? There are no stars in the team. There is no player in the Arsenal squad where you think ‘I’m going to get off the sofa and go watch this guy play’ and that’s the problem.
“The players are just not good enough for a club like Arsenal. Until we bring in new players, the club is going to continue to struggle.
“The problem isn’t the manager, it’s that some of the players aren’t good enough for a club like Arsenal.”
Frimpong believes that if Arteta is set to leave the club, the best option for Gunners is to bring back their former manager
Arsene Wenger
.
“He has the capability of bringing very good players in because he has the respect and he would attract very good players.
“However, I don’t think Arsene has any intention of coming back to Arsenal as a manager. We just need to move forward we what we have and that is Mikel and I believe he is good enough for the job.”
