Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has admitted that his squad lack world-class level players following his side's 1-0 defeat to Southampton.
The Gunners travelled to St Mary's Stadium on Saturday hoping to get back to winning ways following back-to-back defeats against Crystal Palace and Brighton. However, it was Ralph Hasenhuttl's men who secured all three points thanks to a first-half strike from Polish defender Jan Bednarek.
The result left the north Londoners sixth in the current Premier League standings, behind both Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United - although they have both played a game more than Arteta's side. Speaking after the full-time whistle, the Spaniard admitted that his squad just doesn't have world-class players, perhaps a nudge to technical director Edu to target some elite-level talent in the summer transfer window.
