Arsenal begin Premier League title defense with 3-0 win over Coventry City
Arsenal opened their Premier League campaign with a convincing 3-0 victory over Coventry City in the first round.
Former Manchester United star Gary Neville believes Arsenal could be serious contenders for the Champions League this season if they sign Julian Alvarez from Atletico Madrid. The Londoner opened his Premier League campaign with a 3-0 victory over Coventry City on Friday, scoring with goals from Kai Havertz, Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard.
New signing Christos Tzolis impressed in the left wing position, but manager Mikel Arteta is keen on reinforcing his attacking options ahead of the summer transfer window closing. Alvarez is one of Arteta's top targets, but Atletico Madrid is adamant the Argentine will not be leaving this summer. Neville praised Arteta for his squad, stating that if he brings in another forward, Arsenal would be nearly unstoppable.
He added that Alvarez could be a world-class striker to complement their already outstanding defenders and midfielders, potentially elevating the Gunners beyond just Premier League champions to also winning the Champions League. Neville emphasized that the next ten days are crucial for Arteta, as he needs that extra spark in the attack to secure victories even when the team is not at its best.
