EPL: They’re inexperienced, make too many mistakes – William Gallas advises Mikel Arteta

Former Arsenal defender, William Gallas has told the club to sign a ‘top, world class centre-back’ this summer.

He pointed out that Arsenal’s current crop of players make too many mistakes and lack experience.

Gallas said most of the goals conceded by the Gunners last season were owing to inexperience on the side of the defenders.

Mikel Arteta’s side have already brought in the likes of Fabio Vieira from FC Porto, and Gabriel Jesus from Manchester City so far this summer.

But Arteta is in search of another midfielder and a defender before the window closes.

And the former Arsenal, Tottenham and Chelsea centre-back feels the club needs “a top, world class centre-back because it’s very important to have a player who has got a lot of experience at the back.”

Gallas told Getting Casino that Arsenal must bring in someone who can manage the defensive line.

“Unfortunately, last season, Arsenal conceded some goals. I was watching the games and I can see the centre-backs were a little bit too young and inexperienced.

“‘People forget about that and think if you have two good young centre-backs it will be fine, but that’s not the case,” he said.
