“The fact that they’ve started a little bit slower, I never think is a bad thing, they’re sat there in the pack behind [top]. My worry with Arsenal is a centre-forward, I like Jesus and Nketiah but for me, they are a number two and three, they need a number one.
“But I do think that when the football comes, and it could come after Christmas at March which is the right time, they could be the opposite of last season – a bit of a slow start and stronger finish.”
Arsenal are linked with signing a striker in an upcoming transfer window. Brentford’s banned star Ivan Toney is said to be their top target but is valued at £100million.
