'Arsenal need characters like Boateng' - Bayern star could help Gabriel & Saliba fulfil potential, says Campbell

 

A Gunners legend would like to see the German defender make his way to Emirates Stadium next year

Arsenal "need characters" like Jerome Boateng, according to Kevin Campbell, who says the Bayern Munich star could help Gabriel and William Saliba fulfil their potential.

Boateng has enjoyed a stellar career spanning 14 years, with spells taken in at Hertha, Hamburg and Manchester City before his €14 million (£13m/$17m) move to Allianz Arena in 2011.

The ex-Germany international has nailed down a reputation as one of the top defenders in Europe since joining Bayern, winning eight Bundesliga titles and two Champions League crowns.
