‘Go and get him’ – Paul Merson tells Arsenal to beat Nottingham Forest to £60m signing

In anticipation of a possible title challenge in the second half of the season, the Spaniard is keen to bolster Kai Havertz’s defense, and several well-known attackers have been connected. Although there is not much time left to make trades, the north Londoners have reportedly shown interest in players like Benjamin Sesko, Viktor Gyokeres, Victor Osimhen, and Alexander Isak. Another player who has long been on Arsenal’s radar is Cunha, and speculation of a move to the Emirates grew this week after newly hired Wolves manager Vitor Pereira criticized the Brazilian’s body language.

In an interview with Sky Sports News this morning, former Arsenal midfielder Merson discussed a possible move to the Emirates, although Nottingham Forest is also reportedly considering a deal for the £60 million-rated Cunha. “You’re investing in someone for the next five years when you buy a center-forward in January.” “You’re going to be buying someone for the next four or five years, not for the next six months,” Merson stated. Since I believe that Cunha is an all-around player who can play there for the next five years, I would go ahead and get him.

“Don’t rush into that; I think they need to wait for the center-forward.”Arsenal would be over ten points adrift if Liverpool win their current match. Would you panic and pay them a fortune to acquire a center-forward? “You might as well keep your powder dry, hold back, and go get the right person in the summer because you’re not going to win the league this year.”

Merson thinks Cunha’s game fits in well with Arsenal’s style of play under Mikel Arteta and is certain the attacker has more than enough talent to play for the Gunners. “I would go and get Cunha, but they will need a center-forward in the summer,” he continued. I believe he is a terrific fit for Arsenal because he can beat players, has a certain guile about him, and performs well in confined places. “You play against ten at the back most of the time at Arsenal, and teams try to get to you at Wolves, but I like Cunha.”
