Alan Shearer insists there is ‘no doubt’ Arsenal win the Premier League with a ‘great striker’ – as Wayne Rooney highlights Gunners’ ‘biggest mistake’
Alan Shearer has claimed Arsenal’s failure to sign a striker has cost the club the chance of winning the Premier League this season.
The Gunners have failed to recruit a striker in recent transfer windows, with Kai Havertz having operated as the spearhead in their attack for the majority of the season.
Havertz’s season-ending hamstring injury proved a damaging blow the Gunners, who had already seen their attacking options limited due the absence of Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli.
Arsenal suffered a shock 1-0 home defeat to West Ham and had a goalless draw with Nottingham Forest in their Premier League matches.
The results have seen the Gunners fall 13 points adrift of league leaders Liverpool, with Mikel Arteta’s side looking set to finish as runners-up for the third successive season.
Speaking on Amazon Prime ahead of Arsenal’s Champions League last-16 tie with PSV, Shearer claimed there was ‘no doubt’ Arteta’s side would have claimed a league title had they signed a prolific forward.
