Arsenal are among those being linked with a move for Paul Pogba, who has seen his contract with Juventus ripped up, but there are differing verdicts on the Frenchman

Emmanuel Petit has challenged Arsenal to show they have ‘guts’ and take a gamble on signing Paul Pogba. The 31-year-old’s career has stagnated over the course of the last two years with an injury compounded by the lenghty ban he received for doping offences was which was reduced to 18 months following an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
