Arsenal Legend Robert Pires believes his former club should go all out to sign Marouane Fellaini this summer in a recent interview with Sky Sports.
The 30-year-old will be out of contract this summer and can negotiate a free transfer to any club of his choice. Since signing with Utd during the ill-fated reign of David Moyes, Fellaini has appeared in 156 games for the Red Devils.
News broke out late last week that Arsenal were interested in bringing the big Belgian to North London and the former Arsenal player who was a member of the famous Invincibles believes doing so will be beneficial to the club.
Pires in an interview said:
”Everybody knows Marouane Fellaini in the Premier League. Last season, it was very difficult for him with the manager but I think he is a good player.”
”If he wants to join Arsenal I think it will be good news. He needs a new start and with his quality, He can help Unai Emery and the players in the squad”.
Since Joining Manchester Utd, Fellaini has gone on to win cup titles at Old Trafford including the Europa League but has never won the Premier League. He is also one of the most under-appreciated players in the Utd squad due to his playing style and lack of finesse on the ball.
If Arsenal succeed in luring him to the Emirates, he may yet represent a shrewd signing because the midfielder will be arriving for free and will bring something different to the Gunners.
He is a real threat at set pieces and has a willingness to stick his foot into tackles and that is what makes Fellaini an interesting to buy. If the wage demands are decent, then it will be worth a gamble.
