Emmanuel Petit Slams Mesut Ozil as Looking Like a 'Dead Player' as He Calls for Arsenal Revamp

Former Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Petit has criticised the quality in the club's current squad, insisting that coach Unai Emery must replace a number of his personnel for next season.

The Gunners are unlikely to finish in the top four of the Premier League this season, with fierce rivals Tottenham Hotspur holding a three point lead and a significantly greater goal difference with one match left to play.

However, they could still qualify for the Champions League if they overcome Chelsea in the Europa League final on 29 May.

Manchester United are the only other side in the top nine who have conceded more goals than the north London outfit this term, with the latter's torrid away form costing them in the race for Europe's elite competition.
