Former Chelsea star, Emmanuel Petit, has urged Arsenal to sign Rodrygo from Real Madrid.
The Frenchman is of the opinion that the Brazilian is being underrated at Real Madrid and does not get the limelight he deserves at Santiago Bernabeu.
According to him, the Brazil International is being overshadowed by the other top players at the club.
He believes Mikel Arteta’s side can lure the forward to the Emirates Stadium because he does not get the credit due to Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Jr.
“He has so much quality and I have always said he will be such a great player for them. If they cannot sign Williams, Arsenal need to sign Rodrygo from Real Madrid as he’s so underrated and gets overshadowed by Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Jr,” Petit told Genting Casino.
“He reminds me a bit of Sylvain Wiltord when I was at Arsenal. I really think he would be a star at the Emirates and be an amazing player who can play across all three positions across the front line.
“This guy is so underrated and perhaps he feels like he is being overshadowed at Real Madrid. In any case, he could be an absolute superstar for Arsenal and I rate him very much. He scores goals, gives assists and gives great energy on the pitch.”
Rodrygo has scored three goals and provided two assists in 12 games Real Madrid across competitions this season and has started eight games.
