Carlton Cole supports Arsenal's bid for PSG winger Bradley Barcola

Carlton Cole has endorsed Arsenal's interest in PSG's Bradley Barcola, who wishes to leave the French club. Arsenal could intensify their pursuit of Barcola if they manage to offload Gabriel Martinelli, while Liverpool also shows significant interest. The winger, with Champions League experience, could enhance Arsenal's attacking options if a deal is finalized before the transfer window closes on August 31. Cole believes adding a player like Barcola would be beneficial for the Gunners to bolster their squad.
