Ian Wright has implored the Arsenal board to back Mikel Arteta in the January transfer window to salvage their season. Arsenal sustained their first defeat at home since April when slipping to a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Newcastle in the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final.

Ian Wright says Mikel Arteta has been forced to rely too heavily on the creativity of Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka and Arsenal must look to strengthen in the January transfer window. Odegaard was sidelined for two months with an ankle problem at the start of the season and it’s no coincidence that Arsenal’s revival in form over the winter period has coincided with their captain’s return to full fitness.
