Michael Owen admits to 'CRINGING' when looking at Arsenal's recent decisions in wake of Mesut Ozil and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang contract sagas... but insists the Gunners are on the up now with Mikel Arteta as boss

Michael Owen now believes Arsenal are finally heading in the right direction under manager Mikel Arteta following a series of 'cringing' decisions off the field.

The Gunners moved into fifth in the Premier League table on Thursday night following a 1-0 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers, putting them well in command to seal a top four place for the first time since 2016.

Owen stated that while the Emirates Stadium outfit are not a team of world beaters, the squad has improved its mental strength this season.
