Former Chelsea star, Emmanuel Petit, has urged Arsenal to pursue Rodrygo Goes from Real Madrid.

The Frenchman believes that the Brazilian is underrated at Real Madrid and doesn’t receive the recognition he deserves at the Santiago Bernabeu.

He feels that the Brazil international is overshadowed by other top players at the club.

Petit thinks Mikel Arteta’s team could attract the attacker to the Emirates since he doesn’t get enough credit compared to Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Jr.

“He has immense quality, and I’ve always said he would be a fantastic player for them. If they can’t sign Williams, Arsenal should go for Rodrygo from Real Madrid as he’s so underrated and is overshadowed by Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Jr,” he told Genting Casino.

“He reminds me a bit of Sylvain Wiltord from my time at Arsenal. I genuinely believe he would shine at the Emirates and be an incredible player who can operate in all three positions along the front line.

“This guy is so underrated, and perhaps he feels overshadowed at Real Madrid. Regardless, he could become an absolute superstar for Arsenal, and I hold him in high regard. He scores goals, provides assists, and brings great energy to the pitch.”

This season, the Brazilian has netted three goals and contributed two assists in 12 matches for Real Madrid across all competitions, starting eight of those games.
