Really? Sutton claims West Ham star Soucek should be Arsenal player

Premier League title winner Chris Sutton has claimed Arsenal could've signed West Ham star Tomas Soucek.

Soucek, who joined the Hammers for £19.1million at the start of 2020, has netted eight times this season, making him West Ham's top scorer in all competitions and one of the Premier League's stars.

And Sutton believes Arsenal could have done with Soucek at their club, but failed to locate him before David Moyes' side.

Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live's Monday Night Club, he said: “Would Arsenal fans like Soucek in their midfield, right now? Of course they would.

"David Moyes and West Ham had a better eye than every other Premier League club – and the Arsenal's scouts were sleeping, that's a fact."
