Criticism is mounting against Arteta in the English Premier League (EPL) for his perceived reluctance to secure a striker for Arsenal
Renowned British TV personality, Piers Morgan, has criticized Arsenal’s manager for the team’s failure to secure a striker in the current January transfer window. As a devoted lifelong fan of the Gunners, Morgan took to Twitter on Thursday to remind Arteta that there are only 14 days left to finalize any potential deals. He specifically mentioned Ivan Toney from Brentford, who has expressed his desire to join a team competing for the title.
Morgan’s tweet emphasized the urgency of the situation, addressing Arteta directly: “The January transfer window closes in 14 days but Arsenal still haven’t signed a striker despite proven goalscorers like @ivantoney24 almost begging to go to a big club. What are you waiting for @m8arteta? Stop being so stubborn about your ‘process’ & get your chequebook out.”
Currently, Arsenal’s squad includes only two senior strikers, namely Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah. Morgan’s comments reflect the frustration among fans regarding the team’s transfer activity and the perceived need for reinforcements in the striking department.
