Rio Ferdinand believes Mikel Arteta must have questions over "mad, wild" Arsenal star

Rio Ferdinand has called out Arsenal defender Gabriel after his side's collapse at West Ham - labelling the defender "mad" and 'wild".

The Brazilian was part of a backline that allowed the Hammers back into the contest at the London Stadium as the Premier League leaders surrendered another 2-0 lead, meaning Manchester City closed in. West Ham were handed a lifeline from the spot with Gabriel committing the foul.

He dived in which left the referee with no choice. The former Lille man has a reputation for being erratic at times, but has formed a strong partnership with William Saliba. Now though, with the Frenchman absent through injury, Gabriel has looked less assured and Ferdinand reckons Mikel Arteta may be thinking twice about whether he should be a mainstay in his Gunners defence.
