SPORTEPL: He’s back at his best – Petit tells Arsenal to sign Man Utd outcast
Emmanuel Petit Urges Arsenal to Consider Signing Manchester United Outcast Jadon Sancho
Former Arsenal luminary Emmanuel Petit has weighed in on the transfer market chatter, suggesting that the Gunners should make a move for Manchester United’s sidelined talent, Jadon Sancho.
Petit’s endorsement stems from his belief that Sancho could bring a significant boost to Arsenal’s squad. Despite the hefty £73 million transfer fee that accompanied Sancho’s move to Manchester United, a fallout with manager Erik ten Hag last September saw the young star relegated to the sidelines.
However, during his loan stint at Dortmund, Sancho has undergone a remarkable resurgence. He has particularly caught the eye with his stellar performances in the Champions League, showcasing his electrifying dribbling skills and reminding spectators of his undeniable talent.
Speaking to Grosvenor Sport, Petit expressed his admiration for Sancho’s rejuvenation, likening him to a new and explosive player on the field.
“I was thoroughly impressed with Jadon Sancho’s display in the Champions League while commentating,” Petit remarked. “He appears to be a transformed player—fit, agile, and explosive.”
Describing Sancho as a dynamo on the pitch, Petit highlighted the winger’s seamless partnership with Karim Adeyemi on the left flank, making them a formidable duo that opponents struggle to contain.
“He’s back to his best, and Manchester United seem miles apart from where he is,” Petit observed. “So, if Arsenal have the opportunity to acquire him, why not seize it?”
Petit’s optimism about Sancho’s potential impact extends to his belief that even the best player in the world would struggle to shine at Manchester United’s current state, implying that a move to Arsenal could offer Sancho a platform to thrive and reignite his career.
