Arsenal have proved us wrong by showing they don't need a No 9, Chris Sutton admits on It's All Kicking Off... with Kai Havertz now the 'go-to guy' for Mikel Arteta

Chris Sutton and Ian Ladyman have admitted Arsenal's recent free-scoring form has proved their calls for Arsenal to sign a new No 9 to be wrong.

Sutton and Ladyman, the co-hosts of Mail Sport's It's All Kicking Off podcast, made the admission after the Gunners stunning form at the start of 2024 as they also praised £65million signing Kai Havertz as a 'key cog' in their title-chasing side.

Arsenal have won all seven of their Premier League matches this year, scoring 31 goals and conceding just three.

The Gunners' 6-0 win over Sheffield United on Monday saw Mikel Arteta's side become the top scorers in the league this season.
