Transfer fever has taken hold of the English Premier League, with top clubs Arsenal and Manchester United reportedly eyeing the signings of Alex Scott and Elliot Anderson, respectively. The two midfielders have been making waves in the transfer market, with their respective prices sparking heated debates among football fans and pundits.
Eddie Bent, a seasoned football commentator, has weighed in on the transfer saga, expressing his preference for Alex Scott over Elliot Anderson. Bent told talkSPORT that there's no way Anderson is £60m better than Scott, and that he'd take Scott at any price. "Elliot Anderson is brilliant, but I'm saying he's not £40m better than Alex Scott," Bent said.
Bent also questioned the logic behind Manchester City's £116m deal for Elliot Anderson, suggesting that the player's price tag is out of proportion with his abilities. "If he comes to Arsenal, I'm just not sure where he plays because you've got Zubimendi who is the holder, or Lewis-Skelly, then you have Rice as the No. 8," Bent explained.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding Anderson's potential role at Arsenal, Bent believes the midfielder would still be a valuable addition to the team. "He'll get so many minutes, he's a top player, and, you never know, he can force his way in," Bent said.
