Petit Urges Arsenal to Target Endrick
Arsenal great Emmanuel Petit has recommended that Mikel Arteta sign Real Madrid forward Endrick. The 19-year-old Brazilian, currently on loan at Lyon, has struggled for minutes since joining the Spanish club. Petit believes the Premier League would suit Endrick's raw talent.
The former France international and Arsenal midfielder spoke on Andy’s Bet Club, describing Endrick as a "crazy horse with a lot of energy" who can be "a little bit too selfish" but remains "a diamond." Petit highlighted the teenager's qualities and suggested north London as the right environment for his development. He expressed hope that Endrick could feature for Brazil at the World Cup despite changes in the national team's style.
Endrick joined Real Madrid as one of Brazil's most promising young strikers but has found opportunities limited in their star-studded attack. Petit noted Brazil's recent 1-0 loss to France in a friendly three weeks ago, signaling a shift from their traditional flair.
Endrick's future stays with Real Madrid for now as he seeks more playing time. Arsenal continues to assess attacking options, where a prospect like Endrick could provide long-term depth.
