Arsenal could struggle to attract top talent if the Premier League club fail to qualify for the Champions League again, manager Mikel Arteta has said. “It’s a no-brainer,” Arteta told reporters when asked if it was easier to sign players with Champions League qualification secured. They are 10th in the Premier League and face a stiff task to finish inside the top four and ensure automatic Champions League qualification. “The damage caused by the club not being in the Champions League for the third season is really big,” Arteta said. “The structure of this club is built to be in the Champions League and you can sustain that for a year or two, but then after that you have to start making decisions.”--Reuters
