Arsenal need to sign a backup option to prevent Saka from burning out, and Silvestre believes the Liverpool target would be a good choice for Mikel Arteta.
Former Arsenal defender Mikael Silvestre has urged the Gunners to beat Liverpool to the signing of Pedro Neto from Wolves, as Bukayo Saka “needs to be protected”.
His absence didn’t prove costly in that game but questions will be raised as to how the Gunners would cope without the England international for an extended period. “He’s very direct, creating chances, and he’s a good player. He could be one backup option for Saka.” Ivan Toney has been heavily linked, but while Silvestre understands why they might be interested in the Brentford goalcorer, he’s not convinced he will be on the Gunners’ shortlist.
