Manchester United legend Patrice Evra believes Arsenal can't win the Premier League after failing to sign someone like Victor Osimhen.

Manchester United legend Patrice Evra has delivered a scathing assessment of Arsenal's transfer strategy, specifically targeting their failure to secure Nigeria Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen.

The former French international believes this oversight could cost the Gunners in their Premier League title pursuit.

In a candid TikTok video that has garnered significant attention, Evra expressed his bewilderment at Arsenal's transfer market activity.

"Tell me how Galatasaray was able to buy Victor Osimhen but Arsenal wasn't," the former defender questioned, highlighting what he sees as a major oversight in Arsenal's recruitment strategy.

Evra didn't hold back in his criticism of Arsenal's current attacking options, stating bluntly, "They don't have a killer. They don't have a striker." His comments emphasise what many consider to be the missing piece in Mikel Arteta's squad puzzle.

The Nigerian striker's performance, including his latest goal in the Super Lig, since joining Galatasaray on loan from Napoli has only added weight to Evra's argument.

Osimhen has hit the ground running in Turkey, contributing significantly with four goals and three assists in just seven appearances.

This impressive form follows a complicated summer transfer window where the striker was unable to secure his preferred move away from the former Serie A champions.

Evra’s criticism comes at a crucial time for Arsenal as they aim to build on their recent progress and mount a serious challenge for the Premier League crown.

The situation has become more pressing with former target Ivan Toney's move to Saudi Arabia, further limiting Arsenal's options in the striker market. This development has intensified the pressure on Arteta and the club's management to address their attacking deficiencies.

Evra's observations highlight a critical weakness in their squad composition. With Osimhen demonstrating his goal-scoring prowess at Galatasaray, Arsenal's decision-makers may need to reconsider their transfer strategy if they hope to compete at the highest level and end their Premier League title drought.
