Former Scottish footballer, Ally McCoist has added his voice to Ilkay Gundogan’s speculated move to Arsenal this summer.
The Germany international would be a statement signing for Arsenal if he ends up at the Emirates Stadium, according to the former Scotland international.
He went on to suggest that the German would be a more prominent signing than Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko, who joined the Gunners from Manchester City last summer.
Gundogan is set to become a free agent at the end of the season and has attracted interest from Arsenal and La Liga champions, Arsenal.
“What a statement that would be. It’s a bigger statement than [Gabriel] Jesus, it’s a bigger statement than [Oleksandr] Zinchenko for me,” he told talkSPORT.
“You’re getting a brilliant player and the age factor doesn’t really come into it nowadays for 32-year-olds, they’ve kept themselves meticulously fit.
“He’s a winner and he’s a big occasion player, that’s exactly what he is. Everyone will be after him.”
