If there’s one transfer Arsenal should pull out all the stops to prevent, it’s Bradley Barcola to Liverpool.
Arsenal may have hinted they won’t stand in the way of their alleged dream signing, Alexander Isak, joining the Reds, but the same cannot apply to Barcola. Arsenal desperately need someone with Barcola’s capabilities.
Arsenal’s Left-Wing Problem
For the left wing, Arsenal need a maverick like the PSG star, someone who can go left, go right, kill you inside or out. He can hold the width on the touchline or combine centrally with teammates.
Throughout pre-season, Arsenal’s struggles to impact play from the left have been glaringly obvious.
Gabriel Martinelli has failed to show signs that the 2022-23 version of himself is still hanging in there. Martinelli suddenly can’t beat defenders, and Leandro Trossard, who has yet to sign a new contract offer, doesn’t have the pace to stretch them.
The Brazilian’s dip in form, in particular, has raised concerns that even the impact of a potential Eberechi Eze signing could be blunted, especially if his left-wing partner can’t beat defenders one-on-one.
Arsenal Must Act Fast
Arsenal have been linked with Barcola, but it’s Liverpool who are now preparing to enter the fray.
The mere hint that the Reds want him should spook Arsenal. If Barcola joins Liverpool, it could be game over.
Gooners should be furious if Barcola is available and Arsenal don’t make a move. If I’m Andrea Berta, I’m dropping an £80 million bid at PSG’s door for Barcola.
Under normal circumstances, PSG may not want to lose him. But with Liverpool circling Isak and a hefty bid incoming, PSG could pivot and go on the offensive for the Newcastle man if Liverpool continue to dilly-dally.
Forget Isak, Barcola is a superstar. With 41 goal contributions in 64 games while playing as PSG’s fourth option, imagine what he could do as Arsenal’s first-choice left winger. It would be frightening, but fortunately not for us Gooners!
What are your thoughts on Barcola? What are Arsenal doing about a left winger?
