EPL: Arsenal should avoid Ronaldo – Jack Wilshere

Former Arsenal star, Jack Wilshere has warned Mikel Arteta against signing Cristiano Ronaldo from Manchester United.

According to him, although the Portuguese could ‘still bring something to the Emirates, Arteta should avoid signing him.

Ronaldo is set to leave the club after delivering an explosive interview to Piers Morgan during the week.

The ace journalist and friend of the Portugal international, Morgan had told Arsenal to sign the veteran striker.

“I still think he would bring something for the younger players to look at,” Wilshere told TalkSPORT.

“To see how he lives and see how he does things. I still think there’s a benefit to have him.

“I don’t think Mikel would have him. No [I wouldn’t have him either].

‘Obviously what he has done is bad, but he doesn’t have a track record of that. He stayed at Madrid for years.’

Cristiano Ronaldo made a sudden return to Manchester United in the summer of 2020 and scored 24 goals in all competitions for the Old Trafford landlords, helping them qualify for the Europa League.

The former Real Madrid and Juventus star, however, reportedly asked to leave the club last summer but was stopped by the manager who publicly declared that he was in his plan for the season.
