EPL title: Ex-Man United star Dwight Yorke reveals wrong decision Arsenal made in January
Ex-Manchester United striker, Dwight Yorke, has named two players Arsenal should have tried to sign in the January transfer window.
Yorke was speaking on Arsenal’s decision not to sign new players during the January transfer window.
He told Casino Beats that Gunners needed to bring in at least two players during the winter.
“I think it was clear to everybody who was watching that Arsenal needed to really energise their team with a big name signing, a big personality coming in to the club to really give the place a lift because that can be enough to get you over the line. In January, February, March, it’s when the season is really testing, and you need to be at full pelt to get through those phases,” he said.
“When you look at what happened in the transfer window, that has been so disappointing for them that even the players got deflated.
“The supporters are now deflated. It shows in their performances. I looked at Benjamin Sesko, and he’s a good player as well. I think him and Alexander Isak are the two players that I would have tried to sign to give you some kind of momentum.”
21-year-old Sesko has scored 17 times and laid out five assists in 33 total appearances for RB Leipzig this campaign.
Alexander Isak, 25, has scored 21 goals and contributed five assists in 30 appearances across competitions for Newcastle United this campaign.
Arsenal are currently 13 points behind league leaders Liverpool and their dream of winning the Premier League this season is fast fading away.
