Gilberto Silva says ‘world-class’ Man City player just would not fit at Arsenal
Gilberto Silva has suggested that Manchester City star Erling Haaland would not suit Arsenal’s style of play.
The former Arsenal man has been discussing the possibility of Mikel Arteta signing a new striker this summer.
Silva feels it’s vital that the🉐 Gunners target a new forward ౠthat will not only provide goals, but will also suit their style.
We’ve already seen how Erling Haaland’s arrival at Manchester𝕴 City helped to propel Pep Guardiola’s side to a treble last♓ season.
But while Haaland’s impact at City🐓 has been huge, Silva believes a striker similar in profile to the Norwegian just ꦰwouldn’t suit Arsenal right now.
Silva says Haaland wouldn’t suit Arsenal
Speaking to , Silva explained w🌟hy he believes Haaland wouldn’t fit Arsenal’s style of playe under Arteta.
“It’s not just the right striker b🌊ut one that fits Arsenal’s style,” he said.
“Erling Haaland would not fit. He’s a great player, there’s no doubt about it, but he fit🌳s well for Man꧂chester City.”
City♏ have made slight adjustments to their game since Haaland’s arrival in the summer of 2ꦅ022.
The 23-yea♚r-old isn’t exactly known for getting involved in deeper areas and helping his teammates out during the build-up.
As for the💞 forwards we’ve seen at Arsenal under Arteta so far, they often lin🌸k up with their teammates in deeper areas and play an important role in building attacks.
We can c⭕ertainly see where Silva is coming from and a ‘‘ poacher like Haaland may not suit Arsenal’s style of play.
The Gunners seem more likely to go for a forward who can do a bit of both, with Ivan Toney and Alexander Isak certainly falling into that category.
While Gabriel Jesus🎐 remains an integral part of this current Arsenal side, you’d imagine that Arteta will be k🅘een to land a more prolific goalscorer this summer.
