Arsenal’s chase for this star player does not make any sense!

Arsenal are a club in dire need of new players. The Gunners need new players in defence, specially in centre back and also in the wings.

However, their budget is very little. Hence, the players they need to sign will need to be on spot and for the right position.

It is a little surprising thus to find that they want to add another striker when they already have two star forwards. We are talking about their pursuit of Everton which has been rubbished by Aliadiere.

Aliadiere speaking exclusively to 888sport said: ‘I really like Everton Soares. I saw him play at the Copa America and he was terrific. ‘He was quick and sharp and skilful but he wasn’t very strong and in the Premier League you need to be.

I am not so sure that a winger is an area where Arsenal need to buy at the moment. ‘If you can bring in a top player on the cheap then great, that should be done. But at the moment when I’m seeing the kids in pre-season and I think they deserve a chance.

‘We then also have Mkhitaryan, Ozil and Maitland-Niles – these are top players who need to play. With the budget that we have I’d rather we spent all of that on defenders and a central midfielder than Everton Soares.’
