‘Emery doesn’t deserve money to spend’ – Dixon sees Arsenal ‘a long way off’ amid calls for coaching change

The former Gunners defender believes those at Emirates Stadium find themselves at a “crossroads”, with more investment in January not the answer

Arsenal should be wary of handing any more money to Unai Emery in the January transfer window, says Lee Dixon, with the Gunners at a “crossroads” and a “long way off” where they need to be.

The purse strings were loosened at Emirates Stadium over the summer, with £72 million ($92m) club-record signing Nicolas Pepe one of several high-profile additions.

Little return has been seen on that investment, with the Gunners currently five games without a win and already eight points off the pace in the race for top-four finishes in the Premier League.
