Arsenal told to go Bayern Munich ace

Emmanuel Petit has urged his former side Arsenal to sign James Rodriguez as a replacement for Aaron Ramsey.

Ramsey is set to leave Arsenal after talks between him and the club broke down and will head to Juventus in the summer for a free transfer.

The Gunners will be forced to look for his replacement and Petit believes Arsenal should sign Rodriguez who is currently on loan at Bayern Munich from Real Madrid. The 48-year-old has tipped Rodriguez to be the perfect replacement for the Welshman comparing the Colombian to Isco and Cesc Fabregas.

“I have known James Rodriguez from when he played for Monaco and I think he is a very good attacking midfielder. I believe he is a proper number ten, I like him in the middle of the park controlling the game. He has this quality – it’s a mix of [Cesc] Fabregas and Isco – and I think he would be a very good signing for Arsenal,” said Petit.

“If I had to choose between them [Rodriguez and Suarez] – knowing the situation with Ramsey – Arsenal definitely need an attacking midfielder and need to get a player who has the personality to direct a game and not hide all the time. I think James Rodriguez is one of them.”
