Ian Wright believes three Arsenal players need to bring more in a big season for them if the Gunners are to beat Manchester City to the Premier League title.
Mikel Arteta s side have finished second in consecutive campaigns and are looking to go one step further and stop City from winning five top flight titles on the bounce.
Arsenal have made just one signing so far this summer with , though reports suggest they are also getting .
But Wright believes three stars who underperformed last term can make a big difference if they bring more in the current campaign.
Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli have to bring more, Wright said on his podcast.
They both had half-decent seasons, they’ve got to have more goals in them than what we saw last season. I think it’s a big season for them.
Wright also prays academy graduate Reiss Nelson needs to produce if and when he s given an opportunity by Arteta, after he made just one Premier League start in 2023/2024.
For me, Reiss Nelson has a massive season coming up, the 60-year-old added.
We saw Saka come off the other day and Reiss Nelson needs to step into that and deliver.
He’s been around the squad and the manager for long enough now. He needs to produce the performances.
Our bench is going to be very important. If Reiss goes another season where he’s just in the wings, I don’t understand what that’s going to do for him and his career.
This is a massive season for him and I really pray he can kick in and do something.
