Arsenal star Robert Pirre has commented on several of his squad's wingers in a recent interview and expressed his expectations for their performances in the new season. Pirre specifically mentioned players such as Bukayo Saka, Jeremie Doku, and Raheem Sterling and gave his opinion on their technical characteristics, current form, and future potential.
Regarding Saka, Pire said that he is still a very promising young player but still needs to improve in terms of consistency and experience. Pire believes that Saka will need to show more maturity and consistency than last season to prove himself in the upcoming key games, especially in the Champions League. However, Pire also mentioned that Doku is probably better than Saka in terms of technique and dribbling skills and plays more imaginatively, so he believes that Doku is a better winger than Saka in some ways.
Speaking about new signing Sterling, Pire said that he is motivated to start a new career at Arsenal. Pire pointed out that Sterling may not have had a happy time during his time at Chelsea, which may inspire him to fight at Arsenal and make him more eager to prove himself. Pire believes that Sterling will surprise Arsenal in a positive way and expects him to show great performance in the new season.
In addition, Pire spoke about other wingers in the squad such as Martinelli and Trossard. He believes that with the addition of new players such as Sterling, Martinelli and Trossard will face more competitive pressure. However, Pire believes that this competition is positive and that it will inspire the players to train harder and improve their standards, preventing them from experiencing a dip in performance. Pillay emphasized that competition in any position is a good thing, it can inspire the players' fighting spirit and potential, allowing the team's overall strength to improve.
