Arsenal: Pundits discuss what Mikel Arteta needs to do at club
Former Arsenal defender Lauren believes the Gunners need to build from midfield and fill the side with experienced players in order to get out of their rut. Arsenal have one won of their last 12 games in all competitions in a run which has seen them slip to 10th in the Premier League table.
Seven games into their dismal stretch, Unai Emery was sacked and temporarily replaced by Freddie Ljungberg.
The Swede has struggled to steady the ship in north London, however, while waiting for a long-term appointment.
That appears to be close, with Mikel Arteta finalising personal terms before putting pen to paper on a reported three-and-a-half-year deal.
The Spaniard, who said an emotional goodbye to Manchester City staff before training on Thursday, will inherit a squad bereft of confidence which he witnessed first hand when City defeated Arsenal 3-0 at Emirates Stadium last Sunday.
