Problems for Arteta as £30m-rated ace reportedly unhappy at Arsenal

Last season ultimately ended in disappointment for Mikel Arteta and his Arsenal side, however, the Spaniard can certainly be happy with the way in which his squad are improving.

There is a sense of next season being make or break for the 42-year-old given that he will be five years into his project by then, and arguably that’s more than enough time for the North Londoners to have won more than an FA Cup.

The loyalty shown to the manager is admirable, certainly, though it’s worth touching upon whether the board are falling into a similar trap to when Arsene Wenger was manager.

Arsenal to listen to offers for Zinchenko

Whilst Wenger was at the end of his Gunners career rather than the start, the sense of drift feels the same.

If Arsenal can’t win the league with the squad they have now under Arteta, there’s a school of thought that would suggest it’s unlikely to happen at all.

Oleksandr Zinchenko is reportedly unhappy at Arsenal

In any event, one player is certainly unhappy with his lot at the club, according to Football Insider sources.

Oleksandr Zinchenko has fallen down the pecking order at the Emirates Stadium, and at 27 years of age it’s clear that the Ukrainian left-back still has something to offer.

To that end, there’s a clear expectation that the player will leave the North Londoners this summer.
