Arsenal have ‘certain limitations’ in the transfer market says Mikel Arteta

“I have so much support from the board. I continue to have it, and we are all seeking and willing to do the same thing, which is to win the maximum amount of football matches in the way that we want to play."

Mikel Arteta dismissed Ian Wright’s claim that he needs “help” from the Arsenal board to bankroll a new striker – but admitted there are “certain limitations” within his own squad.

Wright, who scored 185 goals for the Gunners, called for Arteta to be backed this month in pursuit of fresh faces after Arsenal drew a blank in a 2-0 defeat against Newcastle in the opening leg of their semi-final Carabao Cup tie.
