Piers Morgan rants ‘Arsenal would have won Premier League title’ if they’d signed Cristiano Ronaldo after Man Utd exit
PIERS MORGAN believes Arsenal would have won the Premier League if they had signed Cristiano Ronaldo.
The striker was available on a free transfer after leaving Manchester United in November before he joined Al Nassr.
Ronaldo has scored 12 goals in 13 games for the Saudi Arabian side and Piers has claimed he would have scored the goals to fire the Gunners to the title.
SunSport columnist Piers hit back at a fan who jokingly questioned why he did not name Ronaldo in his Arsenal summer transfer wishlist.
He said: “Mock all you like, but if we’d signed Ronaldo when he left United, until the end of the season – as he was keen to do by the way – we would have won the league.
“He knows how to win major trophies, and how to score goals when it really matters.”
Arsenal look set to miss out on Prem glory with Manchester City just one win away from wrapping up the title race.
But Mikel Arteta’s side have qualified for the Champions League and Piers is eyeing five players he wants to arrive in the summer.
The list includes Moises Caicedo and Kaoru Mitoma, who both impressed in Brighton’s 3-0 win at The Emirates on Sunday.
Piers is also a fan of Napoli pair Kim Min-jae and Victor Osimhen, who has been linked with a £120million move to Manchester United.

Declan Rice is another name on the list, with Arsenal said to be willing to bid £90m for the West Ham captain.
United and Manchester City are believed to be in the running to sign Rice.
