Arsenal fans are sounding the alarm over the club's summer business, according to BBC News, after Mikel Arteta was left dangerously short on attacking options.
The Gunners sanctioned the departures of Gabriel Martinelli, Gabriel Jesus and Leandro Trossard without bringing in a single senior forward to replace them — a decision supporters and pundits are branding "borderline negligent" for a side supposedly chasing the Premier League title.
The report highlights that technical director Andrea Berta oversaw a window that stripped Arteta's squad of proven attacking depth, leaving the club exposed heading into a demanding campaign. Fans quoted in the piece specifically flagged Arsenal's left-hand side as a glaring weakness following the exits.
With no like-for-like replacements brought through the door, questions are now being asked about the club's recruitment strategy and whether Arteta has been left to manage a title challenge without the firepower needed to sustain it. BBC News suggests the scale of the outgoings, unmatched by incomings, could prove a costly gamble if injuries or loss of form strike Arsenal's remaining attacking options this season.
