“He’s the only missing piece of Arteta’ puzzle, he’s a skillful player with wonderful tricks that should be bought at all cost”- Premier League Legend Alan Shearer has ordered Arsenal owner to sign £60M world class poacher for Mikel Arteta this January before it’s too late
“He’s the only missing piece of Arteta’ puzzle, he’s a skillful player with wonderful tricks that should be bought at all cost”- Premier League Legend Alan Shearer has ordered Arsenal owner to sign £60M world class poacher for Mikel Arteta this January before it’s too late
Alan Shearer recently shared his thoughts on a football player that Arsenal is interested in signing. After Arsenal’s much-needed good performance, Shearer was impressed with the player, Ivan Toney, who plays for Brentford.
Arsenal, facing confidence issues in front of the goal, benefited from a restful winter training camp in Dubai. Gabriel Magalhaes’ determination and teamwork with Nicolas Jover contributed to Arsenal’s improved performance.
Arsenal has been eager to capitalize on set piece situations, and one of their transfer targets, Ivan Toney, showcased his skills in Brentford’s recent victory over Nottingham Forest. Toney, who scored the opening goal, impressed Shearer not just with his goal-scoring ability but also with his all-round performance.
Shearer, speaking on BBC’s Match of the Day, praised Toney’s integral role in Brentford’s success, emphasizing his contribution beyond just goal-scoring. Toney’s versatility, moving out wide and linking up plays, demonstrated his impact on the team’s dynamics.
Shearer highlighted Toney’s goal as a “fantastic strike” and praised his playmaking ability, acknowledging a “wonderful ball” he delivered for Keane Lewis-Potter. Despite the perception of Toney as an in-the-box goalscorer, Shearer noted his excellent play linking up and holding the ball.
While there’s a notion that Toney is primarily a finisher, Shearer argued that this isn’t the case. Ian Wright, too, expressed surprise at one of Arteta’s decisions during the match.
In conclusion, despite Arsenal’s recent goal-filled performance, Toney remains a promising target for the team. Mikel Arteta, Arsenal’s manager, is likely to agree with Shearer’s positive assessment of Toney’s performance, challenging the perception that he’s solely an in-the-box scorer.
