Ian Wright urges Arsenal board to back Mikel Arteta in January window
Arsenal legend Ian Wright has urged his former club's board to back Mikel Arteta in the January transfer window. The pundit believes the Gunners are in dire need of reinforcements to turn things around this season.
While Arsenal are second in the Premier League, they are a substantial six points behind leaders Liverpool, who have a game in hand. The north Londoners seem like they have a mountain to climb to end their title drought this season.
Meanwhile, the Gunners suffered a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Newcastle United in the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-finals at the Emirates on Tuesday (January 7). Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon got on the scoresheet to secure a crucial away win for the Magpies.
