EPL: They’ll not win you title – Paul Merson urges Arsenal to replace two players

<p>Arsenal legend, Paul Merson has urged the Gunners to replace the attacking duo of Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah if they want to win the Premier League title.</p>, <p>Merson believes both Jesus and Nketiah cannot take Arsenal to the next level.</p>, <p>Recall that both attackers were included in Arsenal’s starting XI that drew 2-2 against Tottenham in Sunday’s Premier League derby at Emirates.</p>, <p>Nketiah failed to have much of an impact during the encounter against Tottenham, while Jesus had a golden opportunity to double Arsenal’s advantage in the 32nd minute after dispossessing James Maddison. Unfortunately, the Brazilian blazed his shot well over the bar.</p>, <p>Speaking on Sky Sports, Merson said, “I have always said it from day one – Eddie Nketiah is not going to win you the Premier League. You need a proper centre forward.</p>, <p>“I’m not blaming Nketiah because they drew 2-2 with Tottenham but with 32 games to go and all the Champions League games they have to play, I don’t think he takes them to the next level.</p>, <p>“I don’t even think Gabriel Jesus takes them to the next level.”</p>, <p>“I was so confident that Arsenal would win on Sunday but when I saw the teams, I was majorly worried. Jesus on the wing, Nketiah up front, Fabio Vieira – I don’t think he’s good enough. Only Ivan Toney is available for them in January – there aren’t many centre forwards around in the world. They are a dying breed.”</p>
