EPL: He has real quality – Petit wants Arsenal to sign 33-year-old ex-Chelsea star

Arsenal have been urged to sign former Chelsea star N’Golo Kante from Al Ittihad.

Former France international Emmanuel Petit made the suggestion, insisting that the midfielder will give Mikel Arteta enough options to rotate his midfield.

Petit told Casino Hawks that 39-year-old Kante is still a brilliant player.

Petit, a former Chelsea and Arsenal star, believes Kante is not the player he was in his prime but can do a job for the Gunners.

“N’Golo Kante still has what it takes to play at the highest level. I have huge respect for him as a player; he just might not be able to play as often as he did.

“He isn’t exactly the same player as he was, but he is 33 and still has real quality. His personality, character, and commitment can be so valuable to a club.

“He is in Saudi but could still be a real asset for a team like Arsenal and Mikel Arteta. He would be top class in a rotation for Arsenal, and it would be a good move for him too.

“In terms of mentality, he would give 100 per cent for his teammates. He brings something special.”

The French midfielder joined the Saudi Arabian side in 2023 as a free agent after his contract with Chelsea expired.
