Pundit claims ‘unbalanced’ £30m player Arsenal sold has made a big mistake in leaving

Arsenal had a busy old summer in terms of incomings and outgoings but Tony Cascarino feels one player has made a huge mistake in leaving.

The Gunners finally moved a number of players on who had been linked with moveܫs away for a number of windows.

Reiss Nelson got a move to Fulham, where he joined Emile Smith Rowe, who finally😼 left the Gunners after coming through the academy.

Goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale also signed fo🧸r Southampton an▨d Fabio Vieira got a move back to Portugal.

However, one of the big sales for Arsenal fans wa♌s the £30m offloa🌠ding of striker Eddie Nketiah to Crystal Palace.

Nketiah opted to sign for Oliver Glasner’s men despꦛite interest from elsewhere.

But according to ♏Tony Cascarino, Nketiah could have a big mistake in choosing Selhurst Paꦇrk.

Eddie Nketiah told he’s left Arsenal to join the wrong club

Writing in about Nketiah and his move to Crystal Palace, Cascarino has sugge⭕sted the striker may have made a mistake in joining🍌 the Eagles.

“It w⛦as vital he chose the right club after leaving Arsenal but on this evidence I am not sure he has. He was fighting for headers and flick-ons in the right-back area. It felt ꦍunbalanced watching him play in that system,” Cascarino said.

“At Arsenal there were several occasions where he led the line superbly and looked a world-class forward so Palace ha🌃ve definitely bought a class act but they need to find a way to get the best out of him or he will stagnate and begin to suffer self-doubt.

“His dreams of being an Arsenal legend are over. Right now he needs a comforting arm around the shoulder an💜d for the team to be set up in a way that allows him to recognise his importance to them.

“He must be looking across at his former team-mates now at Craven Cottage and noting how happy and relaxed they💖 look playing in a system that suits them and allows them to flourish.”

Nketiah needs time to settle

While Cascarino makes a good point here it is still very🌊 early days for Eddie Nketiah at Palace and there is plenty of time for him to♔ make an impact.

Nketiah showed during his time at Arꦗsenal that he can do the 💞business in the Premier League and over time, he should be a smart signing by Palace.

Of course🥀, the goals need to come soon and Glasner needs to find a way to get the best out of him.

Right now, though, pat𒁏ience 🐻is key for all involved.
