Julian Alvarez's experience as a winner for club and country would be a "great" addition to Arsenal, according to former Gunners defender William Gallas.

Alvarez has become a key part of Pep Guardiola's Manchester City side since joining the four-time defending Premier League champions in 2022. Additionally, the 24-year-old is a major part of an Argentina side that have won everything in front of them in recent years, and Gallas believes that pedigree would be a welcome addition to Arsenal as they look to win their first league title in over two decades.

"Julian Alvarez would be a great signing for Arsenal," Gallas told Genting Casino. "He is a world champion, Copa America winner, won the Premier League twice in a row and won the Champions League.

"He has played most of City’s important games and is a starter for Argentina, he would bring so much winning experience to Arsenal and he looks like a player that wants to reach his very highest level by playing as many minutes as possible.

"Alvarez would take Arsenal to the next level, I don’t know if he could score 20 goals but he can play on the flank or behind the striker and be very influential."
