Former England international Scholes talked about Arsenal's new player Yorke when participating in the show recently. Scholes is not sure whether the Swedish international is the first choice for Arsenal coach Arteta's signings.
"Arsenal needs a center, I just wonder if they chose the right person. Because there is too much hesitation and hesitation in this matter, I wonder if Arteta really wants him and treat him as the one he wants the most? I'm not sure, but now they have signed him."
"Yorcres' career path is strange - Brighton, Coventry, and then went to Portugal Sports. His goal record is very good, which is undeniable. If there is any team that can create opportunities for him, it should be Arsenal, which should have been a great combination."
Last season, Yorke's goal efficiency was amazing, almost averaging one goal, and scored 52 goals in 54 appearances in various competitions in Portugal Sports, including a hat-trick against Manchester City in the Champions League. Still, Scholes is not sure if the striker, who has never had Premier League appearances (although he had played for Brighton) is suitable for Arsenal's style of possession.
"The only thing I want to say about Yorke is that at Sporting Portugal, he may often play counterattacks, especially in European arenas. But think about Arsenal, they have a lot of time in possession, is he smart enough to run back and run? You see that he almost starts from the center line, fast enough to keep up, he can hit his opponent, fast and powerful shots. Will he be that kind of smart forward? We know Isaac can do it. Can Yorke?"
Another former England international who participated in the show with Scholes, Carragher, believes that Yorke is the candidate that Arsenal's new sports director Berta wants to sign.
"I find it interesting that when the signing was completed, McNicholas of The Athletic wrote a report, in which he hinted in the column that it was more of a sports director-led signing. Arsenal has been chasing Sesco for about six months, and the new sports director has changed direction. I think this report is interesting and how it will affect Arteta in the future."
