Arsene Wenger thinks Arsenal needs to keep M’Baye Niang quiet if they want to get the better of Watford. Niang is the latest arrival at Watford.
Watford signed the player on loan from Italian club AC Milan and he could make his debut against the Gunners. The forward could have been an Arsenal player had he impressed Arsene Wenger in 2012. The 22-year-old had a trial with the North Londoners but went on to sign for Milan.
Despite getting a number of chances, he has failed to leave a mark at his former club. Niang made only 13 starts this season and scored thrice.
Wenger said, “I know Niang well because he played for Caen and we had him here [on trial].
“He’s a very talented striker individually, and he can create chances. He’s very strong as well physically, and very quick.
“I think he will be a major asset for them. He’s on loan from AC Milan and we have to keep him quiet because he’s a guy who can do something special.”
