Sol Campbell could take Arteta’s job at Arsenal.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is under pressure following a poor start to the Premier League season.
They suffered a disappointing loss against newly-promoted Brentford and a home defeat against Chelsea last week.
The side lacked creativity issues last term and have been uninspired in front of goal.
There are speculations doing rounds on Arteta’s future and a number of managers have been linked with the Emirates job with the likes of Brendan Rogers, Antonio Conte or Eddie Howe.
But Darren Bent thinks the club might turn their attention towards the other two options.
“I heard Sol Campbell talking about it,” Bent told talkSPORT breakfast on Tuesday.
“Sol would be good but even if it’s not Sol, one of those legends like Tony Adams.
“I think you need these kind of leaders who have been in Arsenal’s DNA for so long.
“Tony Adams was fantastic and it was always ‘you’ll never beat the Arsenal’ and ‘one nil to the Arsenal’ because they kept so many clean sheets.
“I definitely think they need one of these legends to come in – like a specialist coach to help Arsenal’s defence because they need it.
“We know Antonio Conte is out there. If Arsenal had any kind of hopes of attracting him or getting him to the club then you would say get rid of Arteta now and get Conte in.
“I don’t think that’s possible but, unfortunately, if you get rid of him now, where do you turn?
“There was an image of Arteta slumped in his chair just with his head down and to me he looked like a broken man.
“He can come out and give us all the chat about moving in the right direction and ‘thanks to the fans for supporting us’ and all this but the fans have turned on him.”
