Arsenal fans have praised Mikel Arteta after he seemingly called his players out last night, with his comments to Football London.
Arsenal have badly disappointed this season and look set to miss out on having European football on offer for the first time in 25 years.
The Gunners have also exited all cup competitions they were involved in, meaning they will not win any silverware.
But when asked if this was the best many Arsenal players could play, he said: “With the majority of them, yes. Some of them can get to a certain level and you cannot push any further. If you want to evolve that, it’s not possible.”
The comments serve as the clearest indication yet that Arteta is planning a rebuild in the summer.
The Arsenal manager may have risked the wrath of some of his squad with his latest words.
But many Arsenal fans are glad to hear such honesty from their manager.
Arteta has badly needed some praise after coming under heavy criticism recently.
The Arsenal boss will now be under severe pressure to make sure he brings in the requisite quality to enable the Gunners to improve dramatically next season in the summer, with big chances surely likely after his latest comments.
