Emmanuel Petit has snubbed Cole Palmer and named the one Chelsea player he’d love to see at Arsenal.
The two London rivals clash on Sunday at Stamford Bridge with the Gunners looking to reverse a miserable run of form.
Mikel Arteta’s men slipped to a damaging defeat on Wednesday night in Milan after they were beaten 1-0 by Inter thanks to Hakan Calhanoglu’s controversial penalty.
The Gunners have also failed to score away from home against Newcastle and Bournemouth in recent weeks but, despite the extra firepower and invention Palmer would bring to their team, Petit feels midfield enforcer Moises Caicedo would have a bigger impact at the Emirates.
Caicedo, after a slow start, is beginning to justify his transfer fee under the tutelage of Enzo Maresca and Petit would love to see the Ecuador international, who Arsenal tried to buy two years ago, lining up alongside the likes of Declan Rice.
He told Instant Casino: ‘If I could pick one Chelsea player to put into the Arsenal team, actually, that would be Moises Caicedo, definitely. I would probably take Cole Palmer as well, but I will go for Caicedo.’
Rice, meanwhile, who Arsenal ultimately signed instead of Caicedo, has looked off colour so far this season and is a doubt for the weekend with a toe injury.
