'Arsenal need more English players' - Pires urges Emery to bring in homegrown talent

Arsenal are in dire need of more homegrown players, according to Robert Pires, who would like to see Unai Emery targeting English talent in the January transfer window.

A 2-0 defeat at Leicester just before the international break compounded a miserable start to the 2019-20 campaign for the Gunners, which has seen them fall to sixth in the Premier League table.

Arsenal are eight points adrift of the Champions League places after 12 fixtures, with only four wins on their record to date, and questions are now being asked over Emery's position at Emirates Stadium.
