Former Arsenal defender William Gallas has advised the north London club to target Real Madrid’s Eduardo Camavinga as a replacement for Martin Zubimendi in the upcoming summer window. According to Gallas, Zubimendi, who arrived from Real Sociedad last year, has not shown the necessary grit to handle the ‘dirty work’ in midfield.
Gallas emphasized that Martin Odegaard requires a robust partner to handle the physical battles and ball recovery. ‘Declan Rice already does that, but Arsenal need another midfielder with similar attributes. Zubimendi isn’t the right fit for that role,’ Gallas told BetVictor. He praised Camavinga’s ability to win duels and distribute effectively, calling him an ideal candidate to bolster the Gunners’ engine room.
