Laura Woods wants Marcus Rashford at Arsenal | OneFootball

Sports broadcaster Laura Woods would love Arsenal to sign Marcus Rashford this summer.

Manager Mikel Arteta is preparing to bolster his attacking options at the Emirates Stadium ahead of next season.

Rashford is reportedly one of the players the Gunners are monitoring, and he is currently available for around £26 million.

The England international spent the season on loan at Barcelona, weighing in with 14 goals and 14 assists across all competitions.

However, the La Liga club are reluctant to pay the £26m to make his season-long loan a permanent move. They are set to pay £70m for Newcastle United’s Anthony Gordon.

It is unclear where Rashford will be next season as a return to Manchester United is unlikely.

Woods wants him back in the Premier League and hopes Arsenal will go for him.

“I would love to see Rashford there,” she replied on talkSPORT when asked if she was open to the Gunners signing him. “For that amount of money? Was it £26m?”

Arsenal are eyeing a move for Aston Villa attacker Morgan Rogers, but they could end up signing two or three forwards depending on exits.

Gabriel Jesus, Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard have been linked with potential exits this summer.

They need quality squad depth to challenge strongly across four competitions next season, and adding Rashford to their ranks could be huge.

His future is unresolved, as Barca want to renegotiate with United, and other suitors will be monitoring the situation.

An impressive World Cup with England could increase his value, and Arsenal must move before the tournament if they really want him.
