Former Arsenal defender William Gallas has warned Mikel Arteta that he could be sacked if the Gunners do not finish in the top four. Arteta is into his third full season in the hot seat and he has so far failed to secure the Champions League qualification that the club craves. Last season, the Gunners seemed destined to secure the fourth spot, only for a late collapse to see them drop out at the expense of bitter rivals Tottenham.

Arteta has since been backed in the transfer window, with Arsenal bringing in Oleksandr Zinchenko and Gabriel Jesus this summer, ramping up the pressure for them to perform this season. In an interview with Genting Casino, Gallas predicted that Arteta’s job will be in jeopardy if Arsenal fails to secure a top-four finish. “Of course, he will be in trouble. Arteta has been asked to make the top four and he didn’t do it last season,” he said. “If Arsenal don’t play in the Champions League next season, it would cause a lot of drama. They have to have a great season, possibly win the Premier League, but definitely to qualify for the Champions League. They have just bought new players, it’s in the hands of Arteta and the players. It will be a big problem for all of them if they don’t do their job to qualify in the Champions League.” Nipsey Hussle Hollywood Walk Of Fame
