Keown: Arsenal Need Left Winger and Midfielder, Rashford Not an Option

Arsenal legend Martin Keown has identified three positions the club must strengthen in the summer transfer window: a left winger, a midfielder, and a forward. He emphasized the need for quality additions to challenge for the title, while ruling out a move for Manchester United's Marcus Rashford. Keown cited Rashford's past off-field issues and the expiration of his £40 million release clause as reasons. Rashford is now expected to start the new season at Manchester United after Barcelona declined to activate his loan buy option, instead signing Anthony Gordon and Adeyemi. Keown also noted that Arsenal's only natural left winger is Martinelli, and with Trossard leaving, reinforcements are essential.
