‘I’d take him’ – Darren Bent names Premier League club that would be perfect fit for Paul Pogba
Former Premier League striker Darren Bent has claimed Paul Pogba would be a good fit for Arsenal. Pogba could return to the Premier League on a free and Bent feels he could aid the Gunners’ push for their first title since 2004. Ligue 1 side Marseille are understood to be readying themselves to move for PogbaAFP Arsenal are yet to sign anyone this transfer window and fans are growing worried the club are going to miss out on another chance at the title. Pogba has been without a club since November when his contract with Juventus was terminated. Since then, the 31-year-old has been gearing up for his grand return to football by training in Miami and is hoping to secure a new club this month. The midfielder saw his four-year doping ban reduced to 18 months on appeal meaning he is free to return to the pitch in March. The free agent has been linked with a host of clubs across the globe with interest from the Premier League, Ligue 1, MLS and the Saudi Pro League. Pogba hinted at a third Manchester United stint but talkSPORT understands that Man United are not entertaining the idea of re-signing him. “Would I take him at Arsenal, three month loan, absolutely?” said Darren Bent. “Just because of the injuries we’ve had and a little bit of squad rotation. “There’s still Champions League football and a league push. There’s a lot of games. He might not play many minutes but just to have him about and see where he’s at. “I’m not committing long term, no way, but short term I’d give that a go.” Arsenal’s main problem this season is their lack of clinical finishing so a striker or prolific winger would be the way to solve their dilemma. Pogba played for United across two spells having come through the club’s academy Not a midfielder whose previous time in England is often debated as an underachievement. Mikel Arteta giving the green light for Pogba would be unlikely as the manager does not favour someone on the wrong side of thirty. However, the Spaniard has done so before when Jorginho joined on January deadline day from Chelsea in 2023 aged 31. An example that shows Arteta isn’t exactly in strong disagreement with signing Pogba but it would be a risk considering the Frenchman is not match fit, having not played since September 2023. Furthermore, Martin Zubimendi – a midfielder from Real Sociedad – is reported to be joining Arsenal in the summer after advanced talks. A possible pre-agreed deal that would rule out Pogba’s possibility of returning to the Premier League.
