REVEALED: The message Patrice Evra sends to Arsenal owners over January transfer window

Patrice Evra says he will like to see Arsenal owners back manager Mikel Arteta to sign three players in January.

It is suggested that the North London outfit will have a season to forget it they fail to add depth to their squad.

In his words, ‘I’m really excited to see who they are going to buy in January. Some clubs buy players when they are in a crisis, but like Sir Alex Ferguson used to do, you need to buy players when you’re at the top.

‘It’s a big chance for the owner of the club to backup Arteta. I’m sure that Arteta is convinced that Arsenal are going to win the league, and the players are convinced, but they need some backup.

‘I want to see the owner really back him if he needs three big players. I don’t know what specific positions they need to go for, definitely centre-back and maybe midfield.

‘This is down to the owner, they will have to make the decision, do they want to go to the next level or do they just want to keep living with the hope.

‘Imagine if Saliba got injured, the impact he has on the team if he was to get injured they would be done. So, they need another centre-back.
