Arsenal legend urges former club to sign Manchester United star

Former Arsenal midfielder Gilberto Silva has said Manchester United’s Casemiro would be a good fit for the Gunners.

After another incredible season in north London saw Mikel Arteta’s side take a step in the right direction, although they fell short of their destination, fans will be keen to see more improvement from the club in the summer.

The Spanish manager has built an incredibly versatile and deep squad that has shown since last season that it can handle the incredibly dense roster.

But one area of ​​the team that could use some improvement is midfield, with Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard still in need of another quality midfield partnership.

Thomas Partey and Jorginho have done a great job but could easily be improved if the club want to take the next step to overtake Manchester City next season with a left eight as their priority signing.

The Ghanaian midfielder has also been heavily linked with the club, with Gilberto Silva named as a potential replacement by a Premier League rival.

“It would be very interesting if Thomas Partey left the club.” He told Bet365.

“If that place becomes available then it would be interesting to see Casemiro there, he would bring a very strong and stable option in midfield.”

Aged 32, the Brazilian’s form has dipped significantly at Old Trafford, with the former Real Madrid man forced to play as a makeshift centre-back in Erik ten Hag’s sides last season.
