Manchester United legend Patrice Evra has advised Roma midfielder Manu Kone to join Arsenal this summer. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
Admitting that the French international possesses the physical tools to thrive under Mikel Arteta, Evra revealed that Kone’s energy will work in the EPL.
Patrice added that the Serie A CM definitely has what it takes to cope in a faster league.
His words, “I like Manu Kone’s profile for the Premier League. He has energy, he carries the ball, he likes duels and he works for the team.
All of those things matter in England. The Premier League is faster. You don’t get time to breathe. So the important thing is adaptation. Don’t judge him after five games.
If he goes to Arsenal with a manager who knows how to use him, I think he can do well. He definitely has the tools. Then it is about consistency.”
