Ex-Manchester City player, Micah Richards has given his verdict on Arsenal’s new signing, Viktor Gyokeres.
Richards also advised Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta to replace Gabriel Martinelli with Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze in his Arsenal squad.
Recall that Arsenal recently signed Gyokeres from Sporting CP for £64m.
Speaking about the Gunners’ summer transfer business on The Rest Is Football podcast, Richards said: “How many times have we said Arsenal need a new striker? We said it every week last season.
“They’ve needed one for a while now, and I still believe they need a left winger as well. They’ve been linked with [Eberechi] Eze, haven’t they
“I think [Gabriel] Martinelli can do a job, but he’s more of an impact player, great to have off the bench, so if they could get Eze, that would be amazing.
“In terms of Gyokeres, I think it’s a very good signing, but I still think there are question marks if he can do it at this level consistently.
“I’ve watched loads of videos of him and I think he’s good with his movement, he’s a clever striker.
“He’ll cause teams problems, though, and he’s exactly what Arsenal needed, for sure.”
