“Nice has the best defence so far in the league, and Todibo has now reached the national team, he plays in the central defence and he’s playing very well,” Petit told DAZN Bet.
“And I think he has improved a lot in the last two years. And with Saliba and the loan spell he had for Marseille, he came back strongly, and now we all know what kind of defender he is. It could be something very interesting for Arsenal.
“You may think I’m crazy, but I think Allan Saint-Maximin. I watch the Saudi League every week, and the level is not that great. I’m sure the players are happy with the money, but it’s not very exciting and I think Saint-Maximin can be very good for Arsenal.
“I think Olise is doing very well at Crystal Palace so far and this may be his best season yet. He’s playing with confidence and he’s becoming a nightmare for defenders.
“He’s only 22, and Arsenal are a very young team. He could fit perfectly and rotate with Bukayo Saka. I’d be very happy if Arsenal got him.”
