Former Premier League striker Darren Bent believes Paul Pogba would be a great short-term addition to Arsenal, especially given their injury concerns. Pogba, 31, has been a free agent since Juventus terminated his contract in November. His doping ban was reduced to 18 months, allowing a return in March. However, Arsenal’s transfer priority remains a striker or winger.
The future of Paul Pogba remains uncertain as former Premier League striker Darren Bent suggests that Arsenal would be an ideal destination for the French midfielder. Pogba, who has been without a club since Juventus terminated his contract in November, has been training in Miami and preparing for a return to professional football. His initial four-year doping ban was reduced to 18 months on appeal, making him eligible to play again in March.
Bent believes Pogba could provide valuable squad depth for Arsenal, especially given their ongoing injury concerns. He suggested that a short-term deal, possibly a three-month loan, could help the Gunners in their push for the Premier League title and Champions League contention. However, Arsenal has yet to make any signings this transfer window, raising concerns among fans.
While Pogba has drawn interest from clubs in the Premier League, Ligue 1, MLS, and Saudi Pro League, a return to Manchester United appears unlikely. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has favoured younger players, but past signings like Jorginho at 31 suggest he might not completely rule out Pogba. However, questions about Pogba’s match fitness and Arsenal’s pursuit of Martin Zubimendi may complicate his chances of a Premier League return.
