Carragher Says Arsenal Lack Elite Attackers as Title Push Relies on Defense

Fresh reaction to the 3-2 loss at Manchester United highlights a chance-creation shortfall and stirs tentative transfer talk for Julián Álvarez.

Overview

  • Jamie Carragher told Sky Sports he believes Arsenal’s issue is quality in attacking areas rather than mentality and that they lack a genuine superstar up front.
  • Carragher argued the root problem is creativity, saying Arsenal do not create enough chances for their strikers to thrive.
  • He still tips Arsenal to win the league but says any triumph would be driven by the centre-backs, the goalkeeper and Declan Rice.
  • Paul Scholes contended that only Bukayo Saka approaches top-level status this season and said the forwards have not been at the required standard.
  • Recent reporting notes low attacking returns, with Leandro Trossard and Viktor Gyökeres on five league goals each, and cites unconfirmed links to Atlético Madrid’s Julián Álvarez as a possible summer target.
