Arsenal have been urged to sign Marcus Rashford from Manchester United this summer.
The England international’s future beyond the end of this season is currently uncertain.
Rashford is on loan at Barcelona, where he has scored 12 goals and added 13 assists in 44 appearances across all competitions this term.
Although his loan includes an option to buy, recent reports have claimed the clause will not be triggered.
It comes despite Rashford previously being close to agreeing personal terms with the Spanish giants over a permanent switch.
United boss Michael Carrick has also left the door open to an Old Trafford return if Rashford does not stay in Spain.
However, talkSPORT’s Angelina Kelly believes the 28-year-old could be the perfect answer for Arsenal’s attacking woes.
She put forward the potential signing during the latest episode of talkSPORT’s Fiery Fridays podcast.
Why should Arsenal sign Rashford?
Highlighting the Gunners’ ongoing issues on the left wing, Kelly explained: “They’re a big topic of conversation at the moment, but whether they’re trophyless or they bottle it or not, it’s never too early to think about recruitment.
“I think that this could be a cracking deal for them. Reason one, you look at Arsenal’s left wing options, they haven’t been the best.
“(Leandro) Trossard’s goals have dried up in 2026. (Noni) Madueke hasn’t been good enough and prefers to play on the right.
“Gabriel Martinelli, a few seasons ago 15 league goals in the 2022/23 season, but he seems to have been forced to stay wide and spend so much time running back and helping to defend.
“It’s actually a shame that you’ve got such a talented forward reduced to such a simplistic role, you could argue.
“I think that Arsenal need to sign a winger who maybe doesn’t want to defend, someone who breaks the rules a little bit and makes their own decisions, rather than following Mikel Arteta’s instructions to a tee.
“Rashford could be the answer, he doesn’t like to track back. So maybe they could compromise and get a winger then who does the appropriate amount of pressing and tracking back as per what Mikel Arteta wants, but still will want to do the important job of attacking.
“Having a player that stays up field and gets into the box is always a good thing.”
Rashford, who is under contract at United until 2028, spent the second half of last season on loan at Aston Villa.
Across his time with Villa and the Red Devils, the forward has scored 89 goals and provided 53 assists in 297 Premier League appearances.
‘Pressure’ on Rashford
Having graduated from United’s academy, Rashford was the subject of continuous pressure whilst playing for his boyhood club.
Kelly added that Arsenal could be the perfect club to protect him from outside noise if he were to move to the Emirates Stadium.
She continued: “I know there was a lot of pressure on Rashford, he was the poster boy for Manchester United.
“Whilst that pressure was a lot and I think the media hate that he got and the hate on social media was far too much, some of the things on and off the pitch were irritating but it did go too far.
“I understand if he’d never want to play in England again because of those things, but I just think that there’s a little part of him that would enjoy not just being the super-sub at Barcelona coming off the bench.
“I think that he’d enjoy being a little bit of a poster boy for Arsenal. Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka cover it mainly, but he can just have a little bit of that cake.
“I think the club would protect him with some of the issues that he might face if there is controversy or unfounded attacks.”
Rashford has previously won six trophies with the Red Devils including the Europa League and two FA Cups.
He has also lifted the Spanish Super Cup with Barca this season.
Ahead of resolving his future at club level, Rashford is also set to star for England at the World Cup this summer.
It would be his third consecutive World Cup finals if included in Thomas Tuchel’s final Three Lions squad.
Rashford has scored 18 goals in 70 caps for England since making his debut aged 18 in 2016.
