'Arsenal are desperate' - Arteta talk fails to convince Campbell

Arsenal are starting to get “desperate” in their search for a 

new manager, says Kevin Campbell, with the Gunners 

potentially “doing things on the cheap” in their bid to take 

Mikel Arteta back to Emirates Stadium.

Campbell believes the Gunners are now running out of 

options and are reluctant to spend big on trying to lure a 

proven winner into a role which is looking less appealing 

with each passing game.

The former striker told Sky Sports : “I think Arsenal are 

desperate, I’ve got to be honest with you.

“The way things never panned out with Unai Emery and 

the way the results are going, obviously against 

Manchester City the last game, it was a bit of a football 

schooling.

“The hierarchy and the fan base, me as a fan as well, 

look at that and think ‘something’s got to change, 

something’s got to be done’.

“It looks like the club are doing what they think is right, 

which is all they can do I suppose.

“But it begs the question that it just creates more 

questions.

“Why does a club like Arsenal not go for somebody 

who’s really experienced and a top, top manager?

“Are they doing things on the cheap? Or are they trying to 

do a new vision?”
