Arteta urged to sign a new centre back immediately

Arteta has been told about that one signing which could have a great impact on Arsenal.

The Gunners definitely need a new centre back and now that the January window is open, Arteta has been advised to sign one – even more after Chambers got injured.

Hoyte said, “They’ve needed someone in that position for a long time, ever since [Patrick] Vieira left.

“They need someone in there to dictate the play and break things up. Someone in the middle to control things is what they want.

“For a long time, Arsenal have missed that. Their perfect signing would be someone who can do that.”

Moreover, Arteta has been told about Boateng and his dwindling performance as a defender by football pundit Steve Nicol.

“Come on, let’s be honest, he’s past it, he’s past his best,” Nicol told ESPN FC.

“When there was talk of him going to United, what, 18 months ago, we were saying that, I was certainly saying it.

Arsenal at the moment have Calum Chambers out injured for the rest of the season. They are also planning to sell Mustafi. Luiz and Sokratis are not that reliable. Arsenal definitely need back up at the back.
