ITV Sport pundit Ian Wright has warned Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta not to be too stingy about the January 2025 transfer window. As the Gunners could be looking to clinch another trophy season if they let it slide.

The Gunners have stumbled in two consecutive games in all competitions. Most recently losing 0-2 at home to Newcastle in the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-finals. สมัครสมาชิก UFABET วันนี้ รับเครดิตฟรีทุกวัน While 96 hours earlier they only drew 1-1 with Brighton in the league. 

Arteta’s chances of winning another FA Cup title since 2020 are made even more difficult. By the Carabao Cup second leg at St. James’ Park (February 5). Which is a tough task. 

In the league, they are 6 points behind Liverpool with a game more to play. With their form stumbling and stumbling again. The FA Cup third round against Manchester United (12 January) is also dangerous. 

The former Gunners striker has urged the board to support Arteta. While the Spanish manager should not be stubborn and egotistical if the executives offer him someone. 

“You have to now turn the pressure on the board,” he said after the game at the Emirates Stadium.

“I don’t know what they’re doing, but we have to try to do something.” 

“How about a side-step with Newcastle’s Anthony Gordon?”

“Like last night’s game, when the Magpies went deep into the game – I felt like Arsenal weren’t strong enough, weren’t dangerous enough to tear apart the opponent’s defense. When you use Gabriel Martinelli, I don’t see that much of it.” 

“Arteta needs help, I know it’s hard to do everything in the January window. But something has to be done because if it’s left like this. It’s going to be difficult to score goals.”  

“We didn’t score from corners, we didn’t score from creating chances. Something has to change. Something has to happen.” 

It’s interesting how the Gunners will strengthen their squad, given that they have spent a lot since Arteta took over in December 2019. 

The Spanish boss has injected more than 30 new players during his time, worth a combined £714m, and even after covering the debts from the sale, he has already broken his own piggy bank by over £500m. 

In the same period, Manchester City, who seem to have added a lot but also sold well, lost only £ 59.75 million but won a lot more titles.
