Ray Parlour is a huge fan of Brighton midfielder and Arsenal transfer target, Yves Bissouma and he has urged the Gunners to sign the Malian.
Bissouma has constantly been linked with a move to Arsenal for some time now, but the Gunners brought in Albert Sambi Lokonga and Odegaard in the summer as midfield reinforcements.
Bissouma didn’t join any of his other suitors and has continued to impress for the Seagulls in this campaign.
Arsenal can still get their man even though he won’t be cheap, considering how much the South Coast club made them pay for Ben White in the last transfer window.
Parlour is always thrilled to watch the former Lille midfielder play, and he wants to see him play for his former club at the Emirates.
In a recent praise-filled comment on the midfielder, he insisted the Malian was top-class and claims he is one player he wants to see playing for Arsenal.
‘I’ve said for a long time that Bissouma is a top-class player,’ Parlour said on TalkSport.
‘I would love to see him at Arsenal, I said that in the transfer window: the one player I would like to see is Bissouma.
‘I think he’s got everything. He’s efficient on the ball, he can put his foot in as well, he can pass.
‘He probably could score a few more goals I should imagine, but he’s not in the position to score goals. He’s the one that is going to keep everything ticking.’
I guess ESR was “like” a new signing because he re-upped…where have I heard that one before
Personally I feel the wiser choice would have been Bissouma instead of Ben White, because we have Saliba who seems to be doing a real job still, even though he is on loan.
We have ESR and Odegaard to compete, but only El-Neny as backup in case Partey gets injured (again).
I like Lokogna, but Bissouma brings PL experience and steel to the midfield.
it appears that the club is looking at a longer term
building up a group of young talented players and play them together to build up teamwork
Probably one of the best midfielders in the Premier league at the moment, a beast.
Bissouma is a must signing for Arsenal, could be a fantastic pairing with Partey. Sell Xhaka to the next bidder.
