Arsenal

Former Liverpool and then Manchester United striker Michael Owen has said that he does not see Arsenal finishing in the top four this season, and the club only has one standout player in Mesut Özil.

This is despite the fact that Arsenal are currently on top of the Premiership after winning four of their first five games.

“From the start I had my reservations. They seemed not to be spending but then came up with one big investment right at the end of the transfer window,” Owen wrote in his column for the Daily Telegraph.

“When I look at a squad I see a decent collection of players but not a top-four operation.

From the back: the goalkeeper, Wojciech Szczesny is capable but I would have the keeper of all the other top teams ahead of Arsenal’s.

“In defence, Arsenal are decent, but again none of their back four would make a composite Premier League XI.

“If I look right the way through the Arsenal team, with a view to picking an all-star side from the top six clubs, I would struggle to nominate one Arsenal player. Mesut Özil is the only one who would have a chance.”
