One of Mikel Arteta’s former Arsenal team-mates has told the Spaniard he needs to target a '25-goal’ striker if the Gunners are to finally end their wait for another Premier League title. The 1-0 defeat at Newcastle on Saturday left Arsenal seven points off Premier League leaders Liverpool, and raised fresh questions over their cutting edge after an ineffective attacking display. But the current occupant of the famous nine shirt hasn’t scored in the Premier League since January 30. Jesus, 27, has started just one of Arsenal’s 10 Premier League matches and was again confined to a late cameo in the loss at St James’ Park. “I’ve said it for a couple of years now, I think they need an out-and-out striker,” he told Ladbrokes.
