Gary linekar’s thoughts on Alvarez joining Arsenal
Gary Linekar has claimed it would be ‘game over’ for Arsenal’s a Premier League title rivals if Mikel Arteta signed long-term transfer target Julian Alvarez. Arsenal’s bizarre record in the final third was highlighted after Saturday’s 3-2 defeat against Man United at the Emirates stadium. The Gunners were hoping to reclaim their seven-point lead at the top of the table after Manchester City’s win earlier in the weekend. But now lead the title race by just four after losing at home for the today time this season. Arsenal started well and took the lead through Lisandro Martinez’s own goal but were pegged back. First by Bryan Mbeumo’s equaliser and then Patrick Dorgu’s stunning strike. Mikel Arteta’s side looked to have snatched the momentum back when Mikel Merino levelled late on, but Matheus Cunha scored a brilliant winner shortly after to give caretaker boss Michael Carrick back-to-back wins. Arsenal are top of both the Premier League and Champions League despite the fact no Gunners player has more than five goals so far this season.
