Chris Sutton agrees with Ian Wright over the ‘biggest problem’ at Arsenal right now
Arsenal have a lot of soul-searching to do in the wake of a season that promised so much and ultimately delivered little.
The Gunn🗹ers were h♏oping to make it third time lucky in the Premier League title race and also go far in the cups.
Arsenal ultimately fell short ꧙in the Premier League title r🧸ace, with the Champions League becoming their main focus for the campaign.
However, the Gunners couldn’t get the better of Paris Saint-Germain, who advanced to the final at Aꦓrsenal’s expense.
Chris Sutton has now shared what he thinks is the biggest problem at Arsenal right now, which is similar to what Ian Wright has said.

Chris Sutton blames Arsenal recruitment over past 12 months
A few days ago, Ian Wright made it clear on the Wrighty’s House podcast that he wouldn’t be blaming Mikel Art🐽eta or the players for Arsenal’s trophy-less season.
Wright sou🌳ght to point th🌄e finger at Arsenal’s recruitment over the past 12 months as he hoped that Andrea Berta would get the cheq⛄uebook out this summer.
Sutton has now also blamed Arsenal’s recruitment since last summer, saying their attempt to🐼 sign Ollie Watkins in🏅 January suggested they didn’t get things right.
“Ar🥀senal are still heading in the right direction,” Sutton w🎐rote on .
“But the biggest problem for me has been their recruitment, especially for them to 🍰not sign a striker last summer.
“There are such fine margins between success and failure at𒁃 the highest level, and you needꦺ someone to put away your chances in the biggest games.
“They b🌳asically admitted that by trying to si🌜gn Ollie Watkins from Aston Villa in January and if anyone or anything is to blame for another trophy-less season, then that’s where it lies.
💜“Now Arsenal need to refocus and make sure they💖 don’t let second place slip away.”
Wright, meanwhile, said: “We literally couldn’t bring anyone off the bench to help that game in the semi-final of a🐻 Champions ♊League.
“That is the only thing that I will point a finger𒁃 at in respects of the recruitment.
“And this is why I’m hoping that Andrea Be🌌rta has got his book out and he’s ready to go.
“Because we are three or🔥 four players away from winning the league and winning ✨the Champions League.”
Which strikers could Arsenal sign this summer?
TBR Football sources are refusing to rule out the likes of Watkins, Dus𒆙an Vlahovic and Hugo Ekitike for Arsenal.
However, TBR Football chief correspondent Graeme Bailey understands that it’s becomin♔g increasingly obvious that A🎃rsenal’s choice will be between two strikers in particular.
Vikto🗹r Gyokeres and Benjamin Sesko are now emerging as the two most likely candidates for Arsenal.
Indeed, Arsenal have held talks with Sesko’s camp to explore a possible move recently, sugges🤡ting Berta is eager to find a solution for♚ Arteta sooner rather than later.
