Desailly Urges Barcola to Stay at PSG Amid Arsenal Interest
Marcel Desailly, the former French captain, has advised 23-year-old winger Bradley Barcola to stay at Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) rather than pursue a move to Arsenal. Barcola has been a part of the current French squad at the World Cup, where he scored two goals and provided one assist in five appearances.
Arsenal has shown interest in Barcola, with manager Mikel Arteta keen on reinforcing the attack. However, Desailly, who believes Barcola has the potential to improve his defensive abilities and develop his overall game, suggests that the young forward should prioritize regular game time at PSG.
Desailly emphasizes that there is no reason for Barcola to leave PSG at this stage, especially considering his solid performance of 13 goals and seven assists in the season. Desailly's recommendation comes amidst speculation about Barcola's future, particularly with the arrival of highly-rated youth player Yan Diomande at PSG.
