Arsenal legend Lauren says Mikel Arteta must be put under ‘pressure to finish in the top four and secure a Champions League spot THIS season’ despite suffering their worst start to a Premier League campaign

Arsenal legend Lauren says his former club should be aiming to finish the 2021-2022 season in the top four.

The Gunners made their worst start to a season for 58 years after losing their opening three games of the current campaign.

However, they turned things around after the international break in September and completed an unbeaten run of eight Premier League games before suffering a 4-0 defeat to Liverpool last weekend.
