Alan Shearer has piled the pressure on Mikel Arteta, having insisted that Arsenal has to beat Liverpool to the Premier League title this season. Arsenal has spent more than $1.2 billion on signings since Arteta’s appointment in December 2019, with only Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea having spent more during that time.



Shearer feels that outlay leaves Arteta no room to maneuver this season, and has insisted the Gunners need to win their first league title in over 20 years this season. “It has to be Arsenal’s year to win the Premier League,” the former Newcastle and England striker told Betfair.
