Michael Owen has stated that he does not think Arsenal have the squad, that can finish this season at the top.
The Gunners are currently on top of the English Premier League, after taking all maximum points from their last four matches, but the former Liverpool and Manchester striker believes only Mesut Ozil is the stand-out performer.
“From the start I had my reservations. They seemed not to be spending but then came up with one big investment right at the end of the transfer window,” Owen wrote in his column for the Daily Telegraph.
“When I look at a squad I see a decent collection of players but not a top-four operation.
“From the back: the goalkeeper, Wojciech Szczesny is capable but I would have the keeper of all the other top teams ahead of Arsenal’s.
“In defence, Arsenal are decent, but again none of their back four would make a composite Premier League XI.
“If I look right the way through the Arsenal team, with a view to picking an all-star side from the top six clubs, I would struggle to nominate one Arsenal player. Mesut Ozil is the only one who would have a chance.”
