Pressure mounts at Arsenal as supporters grow frustrated with the club’s management. Fans and players alike demand sharper decision-making.
The crisis now spills off the pitch and into the boardroom.
An injury crisis has crippled the squad. A 1-0 loss to West Ham widened the gap to league leaders Liverpool by eight points. Limited options now threaten their title challenge.
Manager Mikel Arteta faces mounting anger from within. The transfer window saw little action, and his frustration is palpable. The board’s failure to strengthen the squad stokes discontent.
Arsenal made a last-minute £40million bid for Aston Villa’s 29-year-old forward Ollie Watkins. This offer fell far short of his market value, which many estimated around £60million. The lowball bid insulted a player whose recent form speaks volumes.
Watkins has delivered impressive numbers over the past three seasons. His consistency and impact make him an ideal target for a team in need of a potent striker. Arsenal’s misstep on this transfer reflects poorly on their ambitions.

Striker troubles persist as Kai Havertz struggles to lead the line. Arsenal’s attack lacks the cutting edge required to overturn their current deficit. The search for a reliable goalscorer grows more desperate with each game.
Mikel Merino’s unexpected role as a striker provided a brief spark. He scored twice against Leicester before falling short in the defeat to West Ham. Concerns also linger over Raheem Sterling’s inconsistent displays in attack.
The squad suffers from a lack of depth. Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz are sidelined for the season, while Gabriel Martinelli may return in late March and Bukayo Saka later still. Arsenal must act swiftly to mend their transfer missteps and restore stability.
