Ex-Arsenal man admits Gunners cannot finish top four this reason

Ian Wright isn’t confident about Gunners’ Champions League qualification.

Former Gunner, Ian Wright feels that Arsenal will not finish in the top four despite a decent season. He isn’t confident about Arsenal’s Champions League qualification because they are missing a number of key players.

The North London club has lost Thomas Partey and Kieran Tierney in the last few weeks and Takehiro Tomiyasu has been absent through injury also.

Gunners will still face Chelsea and Tottenham among other opponents and the absence of these players might prove key in the race for a top-four finish.

Gunners has defied the odds to get the number of points they have now and they can still do it again, but the club’s legend, Wright, doesn’t believe that is possible.

He said on the Arseblog podcast, as quoted by Mirror Football: “We are not creating as many chances as we should, we are the lowest goal scorers in the top five.

“We need goals man, there’s no way – when we lose Tomiyasu, Thomas Partey, Kieran Tierney – there’s no we can stay in that top four with the players that we have got at the moment without them three in it. They are three of the mainstays in our team and when you are not scoring as well, it’s frustrating watching them.”
