Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has voiced his dissatisfaction following his team’s performance against West Ham United. Arteta stated, “I am very, very angry. Very disappointed. That was nowhere near the level needed to win the Premier League.” He acknowledged West Ham’s victory but emphasised that Arsenal failed to meet the required standards.
Arsenal’s Recent Challenges
Arteta’s comments come amid a series of challenges for the club. Recently, Arsenal confirmed that defender Takehiro Tomiyasu will undergo knee surgery, which could impact the team’s defensive options. Additionally, the recovery of key player Bukayo Saka is progressing slowly, as previously reported by Arteta.
Arteta’s Focus on Improvement
Despite these setbacks, Arteta remains focused on improving the squad. He has been actively pursuing solutions in the transfer market and has shown support for young talents such as Ethan Nwaneri and Myles Lewis-Skelly, indicating a long-term vision for the club’s success.
