Former Arsenal midfielder, Emmanuel Petit, has said that the club should consider signing Paul Pogba.
According to Petit, the former Juventus midfielder would fit “perfectly” into the Gunners’ plans.
Urban Express News Sport reports that the French midfielder rejoined Manchester United in 2016 for a reported fee of £89 million.
Injuries hindered the Frenchman’s progress, and he eventually returned to Juventus in 2022.
Since then, however, the midfielder’s career has stalled, with only 12 appearances in two seasons.
He tested positive for testosterone and received a four-year suspension last year, which has since been reduced to 18 months.
This reduction means he will be able to resume training in January and return to competitive play in March 2025.
“Honestly, Arsenal should gamble on signing Paul Pogba. He will give everything on the pitch. It will take him a few weeks to get fully fit, but he will be so eager to wash his name,” Petit said via Team Talk.
“There is a motivation that is priceless to a manager like Mikel Arteta.”
“Pogba fits the Arsenal midfield perfectly, he’s tall, strong and very creative. We all know how good a happy Pogba is, he needs love and to be given confidence, I think Arteta and Arsenal can offer this to him.”
