Arsenal Cuci Gudang Besar-besaran

London -

Arsenal gagal total musim ini. Tanpa trofi plus terancam tidak bisa tampil di kompetisi antarklub Eropa musim depan. Cuci gudang bakal dilakukan besar-besaran.

Awal musim ini, Arsenal terlihat sebagai penantang juara di Liga Inggris. The Gunners sempat menduduki puncak klasemen.

Apa daya, perlahan-lahan Arsenal kehilangan taringnya. Perlahan-lahan Arsenal tersisih di tiap kompetisi, puncaknya di Liga Europa yang disingkirkan Villarreal pada laga di babak semifinal.

Di Klasemen Liga Inggris, posisi Arsenal juga tidak aman. Hingga pekan ke-35, Arsenal berada di peringkat kesembilan dengan koleksi 52 poin. Leeds United ada di bawahnya dengan 50 poin dan bisa saja menyalipnya, kalau di tiga laga terakhir Arsenal malah terpeleset.

Peluang Arsenal menyodok ke atas juga sulit. Persaingannya begitu ketat.

Dilansir dari Mirror, Arsenal siap merombak skuad di musim depan. Cuci gudang besar-besaran akan dilakukan.

Arsenal bakal menjual banyak pemain, termasuk pemain seniornya. Beberapa nama yang bakal dijual adalah LucasTorreira,SeadKolasinac,MatteoGuendouzi,Ainsley Maitland-Niles, HectorBellerin, hingga sang kiper

Arsenal bakal memanfaatkan talenta mudanya dan membeli pemain-pemain muda berpotensi dari klub lain. Serta, kabar pemecatan Mikel Arteta juga terus mengalir deras.

Maurizio Sarri hingga Rafael Benitez masuk dalam bursa manajernya.
