Former Arsenal and Chelsea defender William Gallas thinks that his former club do not have the attacking power to win the Premier League this season.
Arsenal forwards Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah are off the pace compared to Liverpool’s Mo Salah and Manchester City’s Erling Haaland, though they are just a point off the leaders City, and are tied for second with Liverpool.
Despite that, Gallas thinks that Arsenal lack a truly world class striker necessary to win the title, after falling just short last season.
Speaking to Genting Casino, Gallas explained: “Manchester City and Liverpool each have a player that guarantee a certain number of goals. Haaland will get thirty goals. Salah will get twenty-five.
“Arsenal don’t have a player in their squad that guarantees a minimum of twenty-to-thirty goals each season.
“Saka looks like he could be Arsenal’s most dangerous player. It looks like Arsenal are going to share the goals among their players.
“When Arsenal are playing well, everyone can score goals, but they don’t have a striker that you could put in the same category as Haaland or Salah.
“That’s why I urged Arsenal to sign a striker with a different profile last season. Nothing has changed and that is why I don’t think Arsenal will win the title this season.”
