Shearer Claims Arsenal's Mistake Cost Them the Championship

For the third consecutive season, London Arsenal is in the championship race. In the previous two seasons, they lost it, and they are close to doing it for the third time. English football legend Alan Shearer has no doubt why this happened.

Details: The former Newcastle forward stated that Arsenal's championship ambitions depended on whether the club would sign a new forward. This did not happen, and thus the "Gunners" will not see the championship, which Shearer considers a significant oversight.

Quote:

“I know they have injuries, but I'm going back to the first week of the season when I said that if Arsenal buys a striker, then I would hope they win the league, but if not, I don't think they will.

Ultimately, injuries and the lack of a striker cost Arsenal dearly, and for this reason, when it came to the fight, they didn't have enough moments. Only one shot on target against Nottingham Forest, made from a free-kick, highlighted this.

Either they couldn't get a striker, or Mikel Arteta didn't want one, but either way, it's clear that Arsenal made a huge mistake in this position,” Shearer said.

Reminder: Previously, Gary Neville was impressed by how Liverpool transitioned from Jurgen Klopp's football to Arne Slot's.
