‘Arteta is a ‘Gambler’. He cost them the league last season and will cost them again this season. It is past time for Stan Kroenke to take action if Arteta fails to perform this season.’ Chelsea icon John Terry has finally revealed the only Arsenal player that will cost Arteta his job this season.

In recent weeks, Arsenal has enjoyed an impressive streak, clinching victory in six consecutive Premier League matches and netting a total of 25 goals. Under the guidance of Mikel Arteta, the team has exhibited dominance, with standout performances from key players like Bukayo Saka, Declan Rice, and Gabriel. This exceptional run has seen Arsenal narrow the gap on league leaders Liverpool to just two points.

Throughout this period, Arsenal has displayed offensive prowess, scoring three or more goals in five of their last six outings. The only exception was a hard-fought 2-1 win against Nottingham Forest on January 30th. Despite the notable contributions of players such as Rice and Saka, several Arsenal teammates have also stepped up with commendable performances, making it challenging for others to reclaim their positions.

One such player is Gabriel Jesus, who started the first two games of Arsenal’s remarkable winning streak but has since been sidelined due to injury. His absence was evident in Saturday’s 4-1 triumph over Newcastle United, where he did not make an appearance. Despite this setback, Arsenal’s attacking force has not faltered, as demonstrated by their consistent goal-scoring form.

In Jesus’ absence, Kai Havertz has often been deployed as Arsenal’s false nine, alternating with Leandro Trossard in the forward position. Both players have made significant contributions, with Havertz bagging two goals and one assist in his last five appearances, while Trossard has notched three goals.

Meanwhile, another Arsenal player, Jakub Kiwior, has faced adversity due to injuries and the exceptional form of his teammates. Since replacing Oleksandr Zinchenko at half-time during a 3-1 victory over Liverpool on February 4th, Kiwior, a center-back, has been a mainstay in Arteta’s lineup. His presence has been instrumental in Arsenal’s defensive solidity, conceding only one goal in the Premier League since his introduction.

Furthermore, Kiwior showcased his offensive prowess by scoring his second goal for Arsenal in the recent victory over Newcastle, contributing to the team’s impressive tally of 19 set-piece goals this season. His consistent performances highlight why Arsenal invested £21 million in acquiring his services, making him a crucial asset despite the challenges posed by injuries and competition within the squad.
