Football pundit and former player Jamie Carragher has weighed in on Arsenal's title hopes, stating that forward Viktor Gyokeres is not the player who will win them the Premier League title.
Instead, Carragher suggested that Arsenal's success hinges on the performances of their defensive stalwarts, William Saliba, and others.
Carragher's comments come amid speculation about potential transfers and Arsenal's ongoing quest to secure the Premier League title.
He argues that while attacking players like Gyokeres are important, the foundation of a championship-winning team is its defense.
He believes that the team's ability to defend and control games will be the deciding factor in their race against rivals like Liverpool.
Carragher's analysis highlights the importance of a balanced squad and the often-understated role of defenders in a team's success.
He named several players who he believes could be crucial for Arsenal, including William Saliba, among others.
The discussion around Gyokeres and Arsenal's transfer strategy reflects the intense scrutiny that top clubs face in the transfer market.
Every potential signing is analyzed for its potential impact on the team's performance and title aspirations.
Carragher's opinion adds a new perspective to the debate, shifting the focus from the attack to the defense as the key to Arsenal's success.
His comments will likely be debated by fans and analysts in the lead-up to the next season.
