Arsenal legend, Nigel Winterburn has urged manager Mikel Arteta to sign a new striker like Galatasaray’s Victor Osimhen this January transfer window. According to Winterburn, Arteta needs Osimhen or the likes of RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko or Juventus forward Dusan Vlahovic to win the Premier League title this season.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is ready to call upon Declan Rice as an emergency option at centre-back in the absence of William Saliba. Saliba missed Saturday’s draw with Aston Villa due to a hamstring injury picked up in the north London derby last Wednesday.

Mikel Arteta has been told he made a ‘big mistake’ with injured Arsenal defender William Saliba. Saliba has been a key member of Arteta’s squad over the past three seasons, making over 100 appearances for the Gunners.

Former Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero believes Mikel Arteta should not be under pressure to win the Premier League with Arsenal - but has backed the Spaniard to do so "sooner rather than later".
