Former Arsenal defender Sol Campbell has recommended that his former club consider signing an experienced centre-back during the January transfer window.
Campbell noted that the other Arsenal defenders do not match the caliber of first-choice centre-backs William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes.
While discussing potential signings for January, Campbell stated to Paddy Power: “Who knows? Perhaps an experienced centre-half looking for a six-month contract.”
“You cannot afford to have both [Gabriel and Saliba] unavailable; at least one needs to be fit and playing right now.”
“The other centre-backs are all talented players, but they do not compare to Saliba and Gabriel.”
“Arsenal can manage the absence of two players in other positions, but losing Saliba and Gabriel’s experience in defense is a significant blow.”
Why does Sol Campbell suggest signing an older centre-back?
Sol Campbell believes that an experienced centre-back could provide the depth needed in the squad, especially in light of the current injuries to key players.
What is the current situation with Arsenal's centre-backs?
Currently, Arsenal's first-choice centre-backs, William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes, are crucial to the team's defense, and their absence significantly affects the team's performance.
