Jamie Redknapp Outlines All The Issues With Arsenal Team

Football pundit Jamie Redknapp has pointed out the problems that lie in the current Arsenal squad.

He has addressed some known issues like Mesut Ozil’s involvement, extending Aubameyang’s contract and how Mikel Arteta is doing so far.

“I think they’re a long way off the top four,” said Redknapp.

“There are some problems he’s got to sort out, one is Mesut Ozil. I’m sure he’ll be leaving this summer and he’s on an awful lot of money. It’s easier said than done but sometimes if you feel like the player’s not right, you’ve got to bite the bullet and let them go.

“Do you give Aubameyang a new contract? You don’t want to get into another situation where you have a player earning vast amounts of money, with his age, it’s a problem. I personally feel players like him are hard to find and if you can keep him long term, I still think it’s well worth doing.

“I really like Mikel Arteta but with that squad… It’s a bit like David Luiz, who will have moments of looking like the best defender around but then he’ll have his moment when he makes a mistake. I look at that Arsenal back three or four, however they want to play, they will make mistakes and give you chances week in, week out. I think they need to throw money at the problem, it’s as simple as that, because with that squad, he cannot make them a top-four team anytime soon.
