Piers Morgan claims Cristiano Ronaldo wanted Arsenal transfer after his Mikel Arteta plea

Piers Morgan has never been shy to voice his opinion on his beloved Arsenal - and his latest claim has drawn his old friend Cristiano Ronaldo into the mix.

Arsenal's stumbling title bid seemingly ran out of steam for good on Sunday, as they were well beaten 3-0 at home by Brighton. It meant dropped points for the fifth time in seven games for Mikel Arteta's men, leaving Man City needing just one win from their final three League games to retain the title.

Having spent much of the season backing the Gunners to win a first title for 19 years, the divisive TV presenter laid into Arsenal's players over their apparent lack of bottle: "All over. Totally outplayed by a team that just lost 1-5 to Everton," he tweeted. "A horribly lacklustre, passion-devoid, spiritless, pathetic performance that cements an inexplicably dismal run-in to a season which promised so much. Bottom line: we choked."
