Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has told Arsenal to sign a replacement for summer signing Viktor Gyokeres and has revealed another \u201cworry\u201d.<\/p>\n
Gyokeres<\/strong> joined Arsenal last summer in an apparent fix for Mikel Arteta\u2019s forward issues. He signed for the north London club from Sporting Lisbon for around \u00a364m.<\/p>\n He has 16 goals in his 42 appearances for Arsenal<\/strong> this season, but he has looked out of his depth at times and has often been ineffective against top opposition.<\/p>\n This was the case against Man City in the Carabao Cup final, with Arsenal producing one of their worst performances of the season in the 2-0 loss at Wembley.<\/p>\n Reflecting on the loss to Man City, Carragher is still backing Arsenal to win the Premier League, but he is less sure about the Champions League.<\/p>\n READ: Kvaratskhelia must slam shut \u2018open\u2019 door from PSG to Arsenal to avoid fun sponge Arteta<\/strong><\/p>\n Carragher is doubtful about their Champions League chances due to their lack of \u201cspecial players\u201d and has told them to replace Gyokeres.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t think it will affect the league because Arsenal have got such a big gap,\u201d Carragher said on The Overlap.<\/p>\n \u201cBut my thing with Arsenal now \u2013 and you could probably say this with every team in the Premier League \u2013 is there\u2019s not enough special players.<\/p>\n \u201cArsenal are the best team in the league and have an amazing record but I still look at the attack and think it\u2019s only okay.<\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s no star player and sometimes you need that player when you\u2019re not playing well like they wasn\u2019t in the cup final.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t think Arsenal have enough special players in attack and that would worry me a bit for the Champions League.<\/p>\n \u201cI thought two years ago that (Bukayo) Saka and (Martin) Odegaard were going to be the real deal and be like (Mohamed) Salah and (Kevin) De Bruyne. They were nearly there.<\/p>\n \u201cArsenal are probably going to win the league but if they do I don\u2019t think any of the attacking players will think they\u2019ve had an amazing season. It\u2019s just not clicked.\u201d<\/p>\n READ MORE: Ranking replacements for the 25 best forwards in Premier League history After Arsenal legend Ian Wright discussed the performance of Gyokeres against Man City, Carragher added: \u201cYou still need to buy a centre forward.\u201d<\/p>\n Unlike Carragher, former Chelsea star Gus Poyet is less sure about Arsenal\u2019s chances of winning the Premier League this season.<\/p>\n \u201cIf Arsenal weren\u2019t to win the Premier League this season, it would be an absolute disaster. It would probably spell the end of the era at the club,\u201d Poyet told BetWright.<\/p>\n READ NEXT: Salah among the greatest transfer Plan Bs that actually worked out, including Manchester United icons \u201cThey have been far ahead of Manchester City in previous years and not got the job done before, although it was a different situation that time where City had games in hand. It looks unlikely they can do that again, but if it did happen, it would be catastrophic.<\/p>\n \u201cWith that said, the international break being now is perfect for Arsenal. If they had a game this week after their defeat in the final with the pressure and they concede a goal, the failures in previous years could come into the players\u2019 minds. The fact they have two weeks away to regroup and forget about the final will be better for them.<\/p>\n \u201cThe focus will undoubtedly be on Arsenal going forward into their next few games, but I think it will be very hard for them to not win the league from this position.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/div>\n
