Former Chelsea striker, Chris Sutton has identified Arsenal’s recruitment as their biggest problem after another trophyless season.
Sutton believes that the Gunners’ failure to sign a top striker in the last two transfer windows has been the main reason for their lack of silverware.
In his column for BBC, Sutton said Mikel Arteta’s side need to refocus and make sure they don’t let second position on the Premier League table slip away from them.
Sutton said: “Arsenal are still heading in the right direction. 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 at the highest level, and you need someone to put away your chances in the biggest games.
“They basically admitted that by trying to sign Ollie Watkins from Aston Villa in January and if anyone or anything is to blame for another trophy-less season, then that is where it lies.
“Now Arsenal need to refocus and make sure they don’t let second place slip away.”
