  WHAT HAPPENED?

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  While Petit appreciated Kai Havertz's performance, who netted the first goal for the Gunners in their season opener against Wolves, he felt that the North London side should add one more striker to their roster along with a midfielder and a winger.

• WHAT EMMANUEL PETIT SAID

  Speaking to Safest Casino Sites, the former France international said, "Arsenal still need another striker. Despite Kai Havertz's great start against Wolves, he can play alongside another goal threat. He's so happy in the team, the environment has helped him massively and he's playing with a lot of friends. Despite that, Arsenal need to win trophies this season, they need to buy a striker to take them there."

  He added, "Arsenal need to add more players in the squad to win the Premier League and Manchester City are still the standard they have to reach. They've added Savinho, who looks brilliant and is still the team to beat. I think this year will be the one for Arsenal, they've continuously improved for years and on the current trajectory, the gap between Arsenal and Manchester City will be barely anything. Arsenal need a winger, striker and midfielder to boost their chances of winning the league."
