On talkSPORT, Simon Jordan asserted that coach Mikel Arteta made a mistake when bringing in Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko.

The Gunners ended the 2023/24 season as runners-up, just like last season. Their two key players, Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko, did not play according to fans’ expectations. In the final stages, this duo was even benched by coach Mikel Arteta.

Expert Simon Jordan assessed that Arsenal spending money to buy Zinchenko and Jesus in the past was a mistake.

Legend Martin Keown said: “The problem is that Arsenal needs experience to win titles. Zinchenko and Jesus added that. They came and reinforced the squad. You have to say that. This is a The group of young players is talented and there needs to be leaders among them.”

Last season, despite being the team that scored the most goals in the Premier League, their strikers did not play well. Jesus scored 4 goals. Reserve striker Eddie Nketiah scored one more goal than Jesus. It’s no wonder that this summer, Arsenal will focus on bringing in a great striker.
