Arsenal have been told by former midfielder Emmanuel Petit to sign Brighton duo Alexis Mac Allister and Moises Caicedo alongside another surprising Premier League star. The Gunners have shown interest in both Mac Allister and Caicedo with the latter the recipient of two unsuccessful bids from north London in the January transfer window.
Injury concerns surrounding Thomas Partey prompted Arsenal to enter the market for a midfielder with Caicedo as their main target. Real Sociedad star Martin Zubimendi also had admirers at the Emirates Stadium, but the Gunners now have a new priority target for the summer.
West Ham star Declan Rice is top of the summer transfer wish list for Arsenal, football.london understands. "I'm a big fan of Declan Rice. It is time for him to leave West Ham and play at a higher level to reach his potential," Petit said when speaking to Boyle Sports last month. "I'm also still a big fan of Mac Allister and Caicedo from Brighton, since I first saw them play. I know Arsenal won't try and buy them all, but they would also fit next to Rice really well."
