(Picture: Pau Barrena/Getty Images) Jamie Carragher is convinced Arsenal should have made Bradley Barcola their top priority after it became clear they wouldn’t be able to sign Vinicius Jr and Julian Alvarez this summer. Barcola signed a five-year deal at Anfield (Picture: Liverpool FC) Believing the left wing area to be the biggest area of concern in Arteta’s title-winning machine, Carragher fears not signing Barcola will be looked at as a missed opportunity. ‘I’m happy it didn’t happen but I was looking at the Barcola thing,’ Carragher said on the latest episode of Stick to Football.

Arsenal were briefly linked with Barcola earlier in the window (Picture: Liverpool FC) ‘The new kid [Christos] Tzolis has made a decent start. But the longer the Barcola thing went on, and then Arsenal didn’t get Vinicius Jr or Alvarez, I was thinking is that [signing Barcola] not the one?

Arsenal legend Ian Wright was in agreement his former side needed to sign a player of that profile, having also missed out on Morgan Rogers who signed for Chelsea. ‘That is the player Arsenal need to sign. But Barcola was available.’ Arrow MORE: Premier League transfer spending spree has made a dog’s dinner of Europe’s old elite Arrow MORE: Racing Santander reveal Arsenal attempt to sign Pablo Garcia on deadline day Arrow MORE: Arsenal made approach to sign £73m striker instead of Julian Alvarez before deadline day
