Arsenal legend Perry Groves insists he is not worried about the club’s lack of new striker and suggests Viktor Yokeres has a better profile than another target, Benjamin Sesko. The Gunners
are still searching for a new striker and both Sporting Lisbon’s Yokeres and Leipzig’s Cesko have been popular contenders. “
Absolutely, 100 per cent. Yokeres is more suitable for Arsenal,” the former left-back, who made 200 appearances for the north London giants, said in midweek.
“The reason is because Yokeres is 27. In terms of experience, he has five years more than Cesko.
“Cesko is only 22, he is still raw and has a learning curve. Yokeres has proven he can score goals at every level he has played at, from Championship with Coventry. “
Then Jökeres went to Sporting and he scored 97 goals in 102 games. If you look at the Champions League he did very well, 11 goals in 17 games. “Arsenal
don’t have time for a player like Cesco who is still learning. คาสิโนออนไลน์ UFABET ฝากถอนรวดเร็ว เริ่มต้นเล่นง่าย They have to go for someone who knows the job and can do it straight away.”
Mikel Arteta’s side are approaching pre-season without a new striker but Groves eased worries:
“I’m not panicking at the moment. Arsenal start their pre-season next Monday and we have to wait 22 days for the first warm-up game so we have a little bit of time. “
If you go into the first or second week of pre-season and we don’t have a striker in, then that’s a worry because ideally you want every player reporting on the first day.”
