'The directors have to make much wiser choices': Arsenal transfer guru Raul Sanllehi and hierarchy slammed by former star Gilles Grimandi for their muddled decisions in the market

Arsenal's head of football Raul Sanllehi and his colleagues have been slammed for his poor decisions in the transfer market by former Gunners man Gilles Grimandi.

The Gunners had already been well beaten by Manchester City in their first game back on Wednesday but defeat to the relegation-threatened Brighton signalled the uphill battle Arteta is facing.
