#4 Paul Merson’s advice

Better than Torreira
Better than Torreira

Former Arsenal star Paul Merson has suggested them to sign Watford midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure. According to him, he is a far better player than Lucas Torreira, who has been a decent signing for the Gunners.

The Londoners can’t sign anyone permanently in this window. However, even then Merson wants them to try and sign Doucoure, who he believes has the ability to play for any of the top six sides in the Premier League.

"They should sign Abdoulaye Doucoure at Watford - he'd walk into the team. I'd take him tomorrow morning,” he said.

"He's a much better player than Torreira and he scores goals. He's one of the most under-rated players in the Premier League - he could play for any of the top six.

"It seems no-one pays attention to him because he plays for Watford and fans will say, 'Why are we buying him, he's at Watford?' - but he's a proper player."
