‘Mikel Arteta needs to replace Arsenal star – he’s starting to annoy me’ Emmanuel Petit has identified the three signings Mikel Arteta needs to make in January to kick-start Arsenal’s season and admits he is getting ‘frustrated’ and ‘annoyed’ by Gabriel Martinelli.
Arteta’s side were beaten 2-0 by Newcastle United in the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final tie earlier this week, a great chance for silverware potentially slipping through their fingers.
The Gunners’ apparent need for a new striker has been well-documented, with Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus enduring inconsistent seasons and accused of ‘going missing’ in big games.
The Gunners are struggling to show the consistency that enabled them to rival Manchester City for the Premier League title over the past two seasons.
As well as signing a new goalscorer, Petit believes his former club should also be looking to bring a left-winger and attacking midfielder to the Emirates Stadium.
