Hed improve Mikel Artetas team considerably because hes an out-and-out goalscorer, and is a different kind of player to Viktor Gyokeres and Kai Havertz.He's got pace, can cause problems, can drop in a hole, and score all kinds of goals. I think theyll win the Premier League, but with that kind of player, you'd start thinking they could go on to dominate and win the Champions League as well.Clinton was speaking courtesy of Free Bets, home of the best UK betting sites.'Julian Alvarez signing takes Arsenal to the next level'Its clear that he wants to go to Barcelona, but Atletico Madrid dont want to sell him to a rival. Although, if Barcelona are willing to pay the money, why wouldnt Atletico sell him when theyve got an unhappy player whos lost the support of the fans?Obviously, he can always win the fans back over by staying and scoring loads of goals for Atletico Madrid. You may like 'Losing top quality like Rodri when you're challenging for the Premier League is a huge blow to Manchester City' Clinton Morrison explains the lasting impact of one of this summer's most high-profile transfers "It was crazy for Palace to lose Brennan Johnson I don't get it!" Writing in his Top, Top Column, Clinton Morrison reveals he intends to speak to people at Crystal Palace and seek clarity on the decision to lose their 25-year-old forward Arsenal given go ahead to complete Julian Alvarez as first summer transfer Another player who has been linked with a move away is Emiliano Martinez, who has reportedly been offered to Chelsea. He would improve them massively, particularly after Robert Sanchezs performance against Fulham last Monday.He can't get beaten by that Josh King strike. I don't like to be too critical of players, but it's not the first mistake he's made.Get FourFourTwo NewsletterThe best features, fun and footballing quizzes, straight to your inbox every week.Contact me with news and offers from other Future brandsReceive email from us on behalf of our trusted partners or sponsorsBy submitting your information you agree to the Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy and are aged 16 or over.Even with the second Fulham goal he's parried it back into the danger zone. I don't like to be too critical, especially as it was the first game of the season, but they clearly need to bring in a goalkeeper.I know they've got Mike Penders from Strasbourg, but they need someone with more experience, and Martinez definitely fits the bill.One player whos already made a big-money move is Ayyoub Bouaddi. Hes someone with a lot of potential at just 18-years-old, and hes a top talent. We saw what he could do at the World Cup, but the Premier League is a completely different type of test. What to read next 'Eddie Howe has been let down by the people above him. Newcastle are selling their best players and not replacing them with the same quality' Clinton Morrison reveals summer transfer window thoughts in his Top, Top Column Arsenal pushing to sign World Cup star Julian Alvarez: report 'Xabi Alonso is being listened to by the owners and putting his stamp on things at Stamford Bridge' Clinton Morrison writes in his Top, Top Column I like the way he takes the ball, and his confidence is something to admire. And everyone knows about Enzo Fernandez and his qualities.He's going to get booed everywhere he goes this season, and will receive a lot of stick. But he's a good player, and I dont think Chelsea want to lose him.But it was interesting when Xabi Alonso said that he doesn't know what's going to happen, and wished the window was shut.Usually when a manager says, 'No, my player is not for sale, he's not going anywhere,' then you know that's the truth. But he didn't say that about Enzo Fernandez. So, personally, I think it will happen.I think Man City will pay the money and get Fernandez, after already signing Bouaddi. I hear theyve also agreed a fee to sign the Brazilian winger Alan from Palmeiras, so its clear to see that City arent sitting still after losing Rodri.Elsewhere, Ollie Watkins move to Al Hilal is an interesting one. It would be a massive coup for the Saudi League and their teams because I cover a lot of the Saudi League and they're trying to sign a lot of top players. And you know why players are going there? Because the money looks after them and their families for years and years.So I can probably understand why Watkins, whos 30 and almost 31, and thinking that he could have a couple of years over there and look after his family.Hell be playing alongside the likes of Karim Benzema and Ruben Neves, with Al Hilal building a team that they feel can win the league, because Cristiano Ronaldos team, Al Nassr, won it last season. So it'll be interesting, and a good move for Watkins.Finally, there are some cracking games to look forward to in the Premier League this weekend, and Aston Villa versus Arsenal on Monday night is one which stands out to me. Villa always give Arsenal a good game at Villa Park.It'll be interesting to see if Ezri Konsa is involved, but more so to see how Villa react after their heavy defeat at Brighton & Hove Albion last weekend.We know Villa are short they've lost four key players in Lucas Digne, Morgan Rogers, Youri Tielemans, and Konsa. It looks like theyll lose Watkins too, so they need to strengthen. But the Villa fans will rightly trust Unai Emery.It's not an easy start for them, and they're playing against everyone's tip to win the Premier League, but I think they'll make it difficult for Arsenal.TOPICSJulian AlvarezEnzo FernandezEzri KonsaBarcelonaArsenalManchester CityAtltico MadridChelseaAston VillaPremier LeagueClinton MorrisonColumnistClinton Morrison is a former international striker and prominent sports broadcaster best known for his two successful spells at Crystal Palace, where he scored over 100 goals.
