Report details Arsenal rift between Mikel Arteta and David Luiz
has claimed that Mikel Arteta and David Luiz are no longer speaking to each other, with their relationship strained amid Arsenal’s poor form.
The Gunners were beaten again last night, this time by Burnley who secured a 1-0 win at the Emirates Stadium thanks to a Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang own goal.
It is also in the article that the 33-year-old denies the claims, although Luiz hasn’t been in any of Arsenal’s last four squads in all competitions.
The centre-back arrived at the Emirates Stadium in the summer of 2019 and he’s made 54 appearances for the Gunners.
Luiz cost Arsenal £8 million and he earns .
The Gunners are languishing down in 15th place in the Premier League and things aren’t looking great for Arteta.
Last night’s latest setback makes it five games without a win, with the Gunners scoring once during that period.
Luiz has lost his place in the team to Gabriel and Rob Holding, with Pablo Mari and Shkodran Mustafi now seemingly ahead of him in the pecking order.
Arsenal are next in action when they face Southampton on Wednesday night.
TBR View – Arteta should call upon Luiz in coming weeks
Arsenal are in dire straits and it’s time for the Gunners boss to call upon the man with 56 Brazil caps to his name.
This isn’t the time for childish squabbles and Luiz’s experience could be telling.
Rob Holding has looked out of sorts in recent weeks and perhaps it’s time for the ex-Chelsea and PSG ace to come back in.
Luiz has been there and seen it all and his big-game qualities could be a useful attribute for Arteta to utilise.
Something needs to change and the Gunners boss has nothing to lose by recalling Luiz into his team.
