Arsenal show interest in Del Piero by TS
So here’s a weird one and I’ll let you decide what you will about it. Tuttosport, a sport’s site in Italy have published a report claiming that Arsenal are interested in signing Alessandro Del Piero. Yip, that’s right, you heard me.
The report is claiming that rumors are coming out of England stating that Wenger is getting ready to make an offer for the former Juventus captain. Celtic were firm favorites to land the player after they agreed to his weekly wages of £20k. Sydney FC are also in the running for the player. Who knows how true these reports are? My guess: Not true at all.
So it looks to be an unlikely rumor but still, is it something worth considering? At 37, he’s no spring chicken and certainly would go against everything AW looks for in players. But not so fast. His wages are relatively low(Something Arsenal’s board will love!) and at one stage he was world class, perhaps the best. We need a striker and Del Piero plays as a supporting striker somewhere between midfield and the striker. He’s creative in attack and prolific in assists as well as scoring himself. He’s a versatile player, no question. If he was 10 years younger, I’d say he was exactly the player we needed right now- someone to assist Giroud and play alongside Carzorla.
Now I don’t expect AW to announce the former Juventus captain as our new summer signing but is he such a bad option? Given his age, many would agree, his value to a modern Arsenal would be low but I’m not so sure. I see the guy having an end career similar to David Beckham’s. Considering quality never dies, I wonder if a one year deal is so unrealistic.
If Juventus are really going to sign Nicklas Bendtner, we could end up with each others cast offs.
