Former Liverpool midfielder Jamie Redknapp has urged Arsenal to strengthen their squad, emphasizing the need for more players due to injury concerns surrounding Gabriel Jesus and Thomas Partey. Redknapp’s comments followed Arsenal’s 2-0 Premier League victory over Aston Villa on Saturday. Jesus was absent from the match due to injury, while Partey scored a goal.
Redknapp highlighted that both players are crucial but may struggle to last the entire season given their injury histories. He praised Arsenal’s interest in adding new talent, mentioning Spanish midfielder Mikel Merino, who had a standout performance at the Euros. Redknapp believes Merino would be an excellent fit for the Premier League and could be a valuable addition to the squad.
Arsenal is reportedly looking to sign both a new striker and a midfielder before the summer transfer window closes to enhance their squad depth and address these concerns.
