LONDON. – Furious Arsenal stars are stabbing each other in the back over the club’s dreadful run of form. The blame game in the Arsenal dressing room began after Brighton condemned them to a fourth successive defeat. Arsenal’s stars also do NOT want Mikel Arteta to replace Arsene Wenger as their next manager.
The Manchester City coach has been lined up as a potential replacement for the under-fire Gunners chief.
Wenger is expected to leave the Emirates this summer after 22-years following a disastrous campaign.
But some members of the Arsenal dressing room do not want Arteta to come in and take over. The 35-year-old is understood to not be popular in North London after five-years at the club.
He is accused of being arrogant and thought highly of himself during his Gunners spell.
Arsenal manager Wenger is desperately trying to restore team spirit after his angry stars turned on each other after the 2-1 defeat at the Amex.
Mesut Ozil, who recently signed the biggest contract in the history of the club, is in the firing line after another disappearing act.
January signing Henrik Mkhitaryan, struggling to find his feet at Arsenal, is under the spotlight for failing to track runners just as he came up short at Manchester United. He and Ozil together are a soft under-belly which is being exploited by opponents. – The Sun.
