Petit: This striker better option for Arsenal than Dembele

Former Arsenal star Emmanuel Petit believes the club need to sign a centre-forward in January.

Petit has long been skeptical of Arsenal's title chances with their current attacking options.

The World Cup winner believes that Brentford's Ivan Toney is the man the Gunners should bring into the club in the winter.

He told OLBG: "Ousmane Dembele is struggling as he's under massive pressure at PSG. He wastes chances on many occasions and he's not scoring goals. It's been a difficult start for him, so I can't say Dembele for Arsenal.

"I'm a huge fan of Ivan Toney. He's done a great job with Brentford ever since they came up from the Championship, and I'm not surprised that they're struggling without him, even if they beat Chelsea at the weekend.

"Brentford are not the same team without Toney and the package he brings - his goals, mentality, and behavior. Whoever gets Toney in January, if he does leave, will be getting a great bargain. If Arsenal have a chance to sign him, they should go for him."
