Arsenal FC 0-3 Brighton: According to the English media, Arsenal is facing a crucial transfer window. The Gunners seem to have to forget about the title this season, but next summer Arsenal will be in or out of the top of the Premier League. New players are needed to beat Manchester City next year.
English media know exactly who Arsenal need next season
Mikel Arteta’s team has been at the top for a long time this season, but last Sunday’s 3-0 defeat against Brighton & Hove Albion seemed to be the final blow. Manchester City need one more win to be crowned champions of England. “To see Arsenal overrun by Brighton came as no great surprise,” The Guardian concluded.
Manchester City’s huge victory over Everton earlier in the day dashed all hopes. That must have been a hard blow. What Mikel Arteta needs is more depth in the squad. No stand-ins or substitutes, but those who are good enough for a starting spot. One of the main reasons City will win the title is that Pep Guardiola can adapt his team to the opponent and Arteta has to make do with more or less the same names.
With that, Arsenal’s championship dream has come to an end this season. “Arsenal suffered a devastating blow,” the BBC saw. “The Arsenal players fell to their knees after the final whistle and soon realized that their title dream was all but over. The Gunners deserve huge credit for pushing Manchester City to their limits in the title race.”
Arsenal must get Rice
According to The Daily Mail, Arsenal mainly made a worn-out impression against Brighton. They wrote, “The title dream of the exhausted Arsenal players has been shattered. It was nice while it lasted, but this defeat was a sad way to end this title campaign. They were completely outplayed for their own fans. They looked exhausted, physically and mentally. Brighton played with Arsenal for most of the game.”
According to the medium, Arsenal should not put a hand in their own bosom, but just be realistic. Some said that Arsenal threw it away themselves. They wrote, “That is not true. They didn’t choke, they just weren’t up to the ruthless Manchester City.” If it’s up to the Daily Mail, Arsenal have only one thing to do: “They need to make West Ham’s Declan Rice their main target for another title challenge next season.”
