To be honest, I think they\u2019ve got a good squad and they can do the same performance for next season,\u201d Gallas told BoyleSports.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven up front they\u2019ve got the wingers but the only thing is maybe they still need one world class striker or to change the style of the team.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen Arsenal play on the counter-attack, I think sometimes the midfielders have to look for Viktor Gyokeres to give him the ball at the first opportunity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGyokeres always asks for the ball in front, in the space, but he doesn\u2019t get the ball, because the midfielder wants to keep the ball. That is the style of Arsenal.<\/p>\n<p><smartframe-embed customer-id=\"0fab81ce12e48a0794275e1d82449fb1\" image-id=\"1076357625\" style=\"width: 100%; display: inline-flex; max-width: 100%;\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cGyokeres has scored goals but he hasn\u2019t scored enough goals so he has to reach a minimum 20 goals next season and it will be difficult for him if Arsenal are going to play the same way because he doesn\u2019t really dominate the league physically like he did in Portugal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMaybe you need a left winger because I don\u2019t know what has happened to Gabriel Martinelli, he\u2019s just not what he was, and Leandro Trossard is a good squad player but you need something else.<\/p>\n<h2>Khvicha Kvaratskhelia or Bradley Barcola?<\/h2>\n<p>Arsenal have been linked with a number of left wingers ahead of the summer transfer window as reports suggest sporting director Andrea Berta will be looking to recruit a player in that position.<\/p>\n<p>Paris Saint-Germain pair <strong>Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Bradley Barcola are among the options being considered<\/strong>and Gallas has made his pick.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWould I prefer Khvicha Kvaratskhelia or Bradley Barcola for Arsenal? Barcola,\u201d Gallas added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you\u2019ve got a striker like Gyokeres, you need players to give him the ball to score the goals, and that\u2019s why maybe some of Arsenal\u2019s style has to change, or Arsenal need to change their striker.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End --><\/div>\n<p><script>\n        !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n        {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n        n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n        if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n        n.queue=();t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n        t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)(0);\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n        'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n        fbq('init', '1399787394855675');\n        fbq('track', 'PageView');\n    <\/script><script>\n        !function(e,n,t){var o=e.getElementsByTagName(n)(0);e.getElementById\n    <\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>William Gallas has urged Arsenal to get rid of two players to help Viktor Gyokeres in his goalscoring exploits.
