Patrice Evra has suggested that Arsenal got away with a near transfer miss with a damning assessment of Juventus midfielder Arthur Melo.
Former Manchester United defender Evra was working as a pundit on Italian TV for the Champions League Round of 16 clash between his old club Juventus and Villarreal. The Frenchman tore into Juve’s lack of quality in midfield, with Arthur in particular coming under fire.
The midfielder – who was previously strongly linked with a move to Arsenal – produced an underwhelming performance for Max Allegri’s side and came in for heavy criticism. The Brazilian international joined the Italian club from Barcelona in 2020, in a de facto swap deal with Miralem Pjanic.
