French icon predicts big future for Real Madrid talent at Arsenal: ‘He’s like a crazy horse with a lot of energy’

Arsenal have been linked with a move for one of Europe’s brightest young attackers, and this attempt is being pushed by a familiar voice.

Former Gunners midfielder Emmanuel Petit has openly backed a move for Endrick, believing the teenager could thrive in the Premier League despite his current situation at Real Madrid.

Petit has said that he sees Endrick as a strong fit for Arsenal, especially under the management of Mikel Arteta.

The Frenchman believes the young forward’s energy and raw ability could be shaped into something special in north London.

Backing Endrick for Arsenal move

At present, Endrick is gaining experience away from Madrid, spending time on loan at Olympique Lyonnais.

However, his minutes have been limited, and that has raised questions about his short-term development path. Petit, though, sees opportunity rather than concern.

The former midfielder pointed out both his strengths and areas for growth, saying,

“He’s so young, only 19 years old. He’s very talented, very gifted, but he’s like a crazy horse with a lot of energy.”

Furthermore, he did not shy away from showcasing areas where the Brazilian must improve, adding,

“On the pitch, sometimes he’s a little bit too selfish. But at the same time, he knows he has huge qualities.”
