Emmanuel Frimpong, former Arsenal midfielder has urged Unai Emery to sign Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly.
Emmanuel Frimpong says that his former club must go after the Senegalese star when the transfer window reopens.
Arsenal are fourth and they have conceded 10 goals in 6 games this season. Their defense has taken a lot of criticism. And after a mixed start, they do need some reinforcements.
Talking about Arsenal, Emmanuel Frimpong told Meta Ratings, “I watched the game against Watford and it wasn’t good. Our defense is certainly weaker when you compare it to Liverpool or Man City.
“David Luiz has been making some mistakes, and in my opinion, there’s little difference between Luiz and Mustafi; I would rather see Callum Chambers selected.
“They need to be buying better defenders, like Koulibaly, who can make a big impact on Arsenal’s team.”
Koulibaly has been at Naples for the last five years. He won’t be cheap. The 28-year-old is valued at over £80m. Manchester United were heavily linked to him, before the signed Harry Maguire.
Emmauel Frimpong, when asked if a player like Koulibaly could help Arsenal get back to Champions League football, he said, “Yes, a Koulibaly! They have to improve the defense to challenge.”
Signing Koulibably won’t be easy, Napoli want him to stay and his price tag is too much, and not to forget that Arsenal will have to beat a lot of competition.
