Rashford, who has been struggling with form at United, has expressed his desire for a new challenge. Cole, speaking on Al Arabiya News‘ The Dressing Room podcast, suggested that Arsenal could wrap up a surprise loan deal for the forward if the financial terms are right.
Cole emphasized Rashford’s potential impact, stating, “He’d be a hell of a signing! That’s where they have to shop, Arsenal – on the left side. They’ve got to shop for the very, very top players to improve this team.” Cole also highlighted the importance of man-management in convincing Rashford to join Arsenal, suggesting that a personal approach could make the difference.
Arsenal’s interest in Rashford comes at a time when the club is dealing with injuries to key players Gabriel Jesus and Bukayo Saka. Rashford’s proven Premier League experience and goal-scoring ability could provide the much-needed boost to Arsenal’s title challenge.
