'Sick of it' - Arsenal get transfer reminder as Mikel Arteta priority becomes crystal clear

The national media have urged Mikel Arteta to sign a new striker following Arsenal's win over Bournemouth. While the Gunners managed to eventually put three past Andoni Iraola's sideat the Emirates Stadium on Saturday afternoon, they struggled to translate dominance into goals.

Despite numerous chances, Arsenal couldn't break the deadlock until they were awarded a penalty in stoppage time. Shortly before the break, Bukayo Saka put the north Londoners ahead from 12-yards.

Leandro Trossard doubled the home side's lead a little under half an hour into the second-half before Declan Rice put in the final nail in the coffin in injury time. While the Gunners strolled to victory in the end, they had a nervy first-half which on another day could've gone pear-shaped.

Ultimately, Arteta has been warned that his team won't always be bailed out by a spot-kick. So, football.london has taken a look at how the national media have reacted to Arsenal's victory and how it's impacted the Spaniard's summer transfer window plans.

«It was honestly a mystery how Bukayo Saka's penalty was the only difference between the teams come half-time. Arsenal had an astonishing 16 shots in the opening 45 minutes as they also dominated possession.

»But as has happened so often this season, the Gunners struggled to convert that dominance into clear-cut chances. Just five of their shots were on target, highlighting what is likely to be Arsenal's biggest focus in the transfer window.
