Petit told Ignition Casino: “When Julian Alvarez was playing for City, I really liked him.
“He didn’t start every single game, but every time he played… he has been really special. He can score goals and give assists, but he’s got temper, personality, and character.”
Petit added: “So definitely, if Arsenal have a chance to get him, with the?connection with the Spanish players and the way they play up front, I think that would be great news for Arsenal. That would be a very, very good addition to the squad and a statement.”
