“He’s such a beautiful footballer, we would have won the league atleast 2 times in the last 7 years if we had bought him to Arsenal since”-  Arsenal Legend Thierry Henry says Arsenal should have buy ‘versatile’ £100M star over Bruno Guimaraes last summer

“He’s such a beautiful footballer, we would have won the league atleast 2 times in the last 7 years if we had bought him to Arsenal since”-  Arsenal Legend Thierry Henry says Arsenal should have buy ‘versatile’ £100M star over Bruno Guimaraes last summer

Thierry Henry says Arsenal “must” buy a £100m Premier League player instead of Newcastle’s Bruno Guimaraes this summer.

Henry has now admitted that Arsenal would be much better off buying a player instead of Newcastle United’s Bruno Guimaraes this summer.

As of yesterday, Brazilian midfielder Bruno Guimaraes was earmarked as one of Arsenal’s key targets for the summer via reports.

Mikel Arteta and Edu Gaspar will be diligently trying to improve their squad once again, in a summer that promises change.

Arsenal already have an excellent squad, but there are several players on the periphery of things who are too good not to play regular football.

Aaron Ramsdale will surely find a new club, where he can be number one again.

Emile Smith Rowe and Eddie Nketiah may want a new challenge and perhaps join a club where they can be a key figure.

And should these players leave, Arsenal would then be in a strong position to complete their squad.

That said, when Thierry Henry spoke on talkSPORT yesterday, he thought Arsenal could make a better signing than Bruno Guimaraes.

Thierry Henry tells Arsenal to sign Alexander Isak instead of Bruno Guimaraes this summer

The expert discussed the matter with Andy Goldstein and thought that Alexander Isak, who was “beautiful to look at”, would be a much better choice.

Goldstein originally said: “Newcastle midfielder Bruno Guimaraes has been linked with a move away from the club, with Arsenal reportedly interested.”

Henry replied: “I would take him. Good player.”

Goldstein: “Would you take him or Isak?”

Henry: “Isak, Isak. We need a center forward, we really need one. Beautiful to look at too.”

Of course, you won’t find many Arsenal fans who disagree with the merits of signing Alexander Isak.

Bruno Guimaraes would be an outstanding signing for Arsenal’s pivot, allowing Declan Rice to play as an eight, but Darren Bent is right.

If it was between the two, Isak would be a far more transformative signing for Mikel Arteta’s team.

The £100 million-rated striker would give Arsenal a new dimension up top, the perfect player to combine with Kai Havertz.

I’m not entirely sure where that would leave Gabriel Jesus, who reportedly has interest from Juventus.

But either way, Arsenal certainly shouldn’t hesitate on that basis.

With all that said, Jose Mourinho admitted that he had a question he wanted to ask Mikel Arteta yesterday.
