Gary Neville says Arsenal would become Champions League winners if they sign Julian Alvarez before the transfer deadline. The Gunners started strongly with a 3-0 win over Coventry, but Neville insists they need "a bit of magic up front."

Arsenal, Barcelona, and PSG are interested in Alvarez, though Atletico CEO Miguel Angel Gil stated they won't sell even for £170m. Neville urges Arsenal to test Atletico's resolve in the final 10 days, arguing Alvarez would elevate Martin Odegaard's game and turn Arsenal into European champions.

Mikel Arteta focused on improving player connections, noting limited time together for Bukayo Saka, Odegaard, and Ben White last season. Jamie Carragher agreed Arsenal lack a world-class forward but believes Saka and Odegaard can reach elite levels, suggesting the psychological boost of being champions may matter more than a superstar signing.

Sky Sports' Sam Blitz highlighted Odegaard's resurgence and new signing Tzolis's impact against Coventry. Odegaard scored his first league goal, matching last season's tally, while Tzolis created two chances in four minutes. With Saka, Odegaard, and Kai Havertz all scoring, Arsenal's attack looks revitalized.
