Kevin Campbell tips Gunners to sign Marcus Rashford
Kevin Campbell reckons Marcus Rashford could be a fabulous fit at the Emirates. The English forward has rediscovered himself at Manchester United this season under new manager Erik ten Hag.
His contract runs out next summer, but the Red Devils have a one-year extension option. The Gunners have been linked with a move for the player recently. Speaking to Football Insider, Campbell said that the north London club could move for Rashford if he becomes available next summer.
"He ticks some really good boxes for Arsenal. On the counter attack, he can be devastating. He undone Arsenal at Old Trafford earlier this season with his speed. Rashford can be devastating on his day; we know that. Manchester United are dithering by the sounds of it," said Campbell.
He added:
"I’m sure Arsenal would go for him if he became available next summer. He is an international player who has played on the big stages. He knows how to get games one. That is what Arsenal lack sometimes. It would be great to have a player of his experience as part of the rotation.”
Rashford has appeared 13 times across competitions this season, scoring five times.
