Why Arsenal Should Consider A Move For Sergio Aguero

Paul Merson believes Arsenal should consider moving for Sergio Aguero this summer.

Manchester City have already announced that they will be parting ways with the striker come July.

Aguero is free to join up any club on a free transfer. Barcelona are strong candidates to land him but the Gunners are tipped to have a go. They have a top forward in Pierre-Emrick Aubameyang but could be bidding farewell to both Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah soon.

Merson told Sky Sports, “Will he stay in England or will his next move be abroad? If he stays in England, I think Arsenal would suit the style he would be looking for. They’d be a good choice.

“Mikel Arteta was at Manchester City and the way Arsenal play; they get around the box and they do create a lot of opportunities. Arsenal do tick that box for Aguero.”

He added: “But if does he go abroad where the intensity is not as hard as it is in England? He could go somewhere with a different climate and where the games are not as intense as they are in the Premier League.”

“That could help with his injury problems as he moves into the latter stages of his career. It’s an important move for Aguero as he moves into the final stage of a glittering career.”

Nketiah and Lacazette’s contracts are due to end in 2022. Both of them could be sold off to raise funds this summer. Aguero could be the right profile of striker that Mikel Arteta prefers.
