Jamie Carragher believes Arsenal’s title charge could be hindered by a lack of world-class “superstar” quality, claiming Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard have failed to progress into the league’s best players.
Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has sparked debate by suggesting Arsenal stars Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard have “stagnated” this season.
Despite the Gunners leading Manchester City by four points, Carragher argues the squad lacks an “absolute superstar” in the final third.
He noted that while Viktor Gyokeres leads their scoring with eight league goals, Saka and Odegaard have failed to reach the world-class levels he previously anticipated.
Carragher clarified that Arsenal’s primary hurdle isn’t mentality, but rather a deficit in elite attacking quality compared to rivals like Erling Haaland.
“I thought Saka and Odegaard were going to get there a few years ago,” Carragher stated on The Overlap.
“I thought they were ready to almost become the best players in the Premier League. I still don’t think Arsenal have got one of them.”
