‘Arteta sack speculation is so unjust’ – Bellerin wants Arsenal players to take responsibility for slump

Speculation regarding Mikel Arteta’s future at Arsenal is “so unjust”, says Hector Bellerin, with the Gunners defender eager to see any blame in north London pointed in the direction of underperforming players.

Inconsistency has remained an issue at Emirates Stadium in 2020-21, with Arsenal recording their worst start to a season in 39 years.

Arteta, as a rookie coach in his first full campaign at the Arsenal helm, has started to face some uncomfortable questions. The Spaniard has spent just 12 months in the Gunners hot seat, but it has been suggested that his tenure may not extend much beyond that point.
