Robbie Lyle joins Dougie Critchley and Michael McCubbin on this week’s Sky Mobile Transfer Show to discuss whether Arsenal’s signings make them title favourites ahead of Man City.
Having already secured the permanent signing of David Raya and Bologna’s Riccardo Calafiori, Mikel Arteta’s side are continuing to work on a deal to bring Real Sociedad and Spain midfielder Mikel Merino to the Emirates. Is he what the Gunners need? Do they still need to strengthen in other areas? What about Arsenal’s outgoings? Will they regret letting Emile Smith Rowe join Fulham, and will Eddie Nketiah’s expected exit force them into the market for a forward?
We discuss whether Man City’s capture of Ilkay Gundogan swings the pendulum back in their favour and ask whether Savio is the only forward Pep Guardiola’s men need to secure a 5th straight Premier League title.
We wrap up the show with our Sky Mobile “Switch of the Week,” where the lineup pick their favourite transfer from the past week!
