Arsenal super-fan Piers Morgan has blamed Mikel Arteta’s inability to sign a reliable centre-forward for the meltdown against Aston Villa.
After the game, he tweeted: “I think @Cristiano (Ronaldo) would score 25+ goals a season in our team with the service he’d get. Arteta’s refusal to prioritise a top striker is his one major blindspot.”
This is pertaining to how Arteta opted against signing a new forward in the January transfer window after Kai Havertz was signed from Chelsea last summer.
However, goal-scoring isn’t that bad issue for Arsenal – who have 75 goals in 32 Premier League goals – only one fewer than league leaders Man City. The Gunners will hope to regain their winning momentum against Bayern Munich in a huge Champions League clash on Wednesday (April 17).
