Arsenal handed Bradley Barcola verdict after £123m transfer with Ian Wright and Jamie Carragher in agreement

That is the view of Gunners legend Ian Wright, who has delivered a verdict on his former club’s business after missing out on deals for Vinicius Junior and Morgan Rogers.“That is the player Arsenal need to sign. He comes in from a brilliant PSG side and he’s played with players who are on that level,” Wright said on the latest episode of Stick to Football.“Now he’s coming into a Liverpool side where he is that superstar and will bring them [his teammates] up there.“That’s what we needed. Whether you think Morgan Rogers could have done that, I would have been happy with that. But Barcola was available.”Verdict: Ian WrightYouTube/TheOverlapJamie Carragher, meanwhile, was in agreement with Wright, highlighting the drop in quality when comparing Arsenal’s right-hand side to the left.“I’m happy it didn’t happen but I was looking at the Barcola thing,” he added.“For me with Arsenal, left wing has always felt like where the drop is compared to [Bukayo] Saka, [Martin] Odegaard, [Kai] Havertz.“The new kid [Christos] Tzolis has made a decent start.“But the longer the Barcola thing went on, and then Arsenal didn’t get Vinicius Jr or Alvarez, I was thinking is that [signing Barcola] not the one?”
