Former Ghana and Arsenal midfielder, Emmanuel Frimpong has stressed that the clubs need to bring in some reinforcement to augment their defensive department and has suggested Napoli center-back Kalidou Koulibaly.
The London-based club has endured a difficult start to the 2019/2020 season in both the English Premier League as well as the Uefa Europa League.
The team has failed to win any of their last four matches in all competition, with their last disappointing outing coming last weekend when they threw away a two-goal lead to draw two-all with Watford at the Emirates Stadium.
With Arsenal’s defense failing to stand strong on several occasions, Emmanuel Frimpong insists manager Unai Emery must sign a defender to strengthen the backline.
In an interview with the Meta Ratings, the former Gunnar shared, “I watched the game against Watford [Arsenal threw away a two-goal lead to draw 2-2] and it wasn’t good”.
“Our defense is certainly weaker when you compare it to Liverpool or Man City”.
He added, “David Luiz has been making some mistakes, and in my opinion, there’s little difference between Luiz and Mustafi; I would rather see Callum Chambers selected.
“They need to be buying better defenders, like Koulibaly, who can make a big impact on Arsenal’s team.
“Yes, a Koulibaly! They have to improve the defense to challenge”
In the ongoing English Premier League season, the club has conceded 19 goals in 13 matches, highlighting how poor their defense has been.
