William Gallas feels the personality of Diego Costa “can be good” for Arsenal, but believes the former Chelsea man would “turn down” the chance to move there because of his Blues connection.
Arsenal have been left without strikers Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz for the rest of the season due to injuries. With Bukayo Saka also currently sidelined, they are left with the bare bones in attack.
In their last game against Leicester, their attack featured Leandro Trossard up top, with Raheem Sterling – who’s struggled for minutes this season – and 17-year-old Ethan Nwaneri either side of him.
The injury situation has benefitted Nwaneri, who’s developing at a good rate, but the Gunners would surely rather have some more quality in other areas, and not be susceptible to a crisis if another injury occurs.
Some fans have proposed free agent Costa as a potential striker reinforcement, and Gallas has assessed the chances of the move working out, though it’s not one which is likely to happen.
