Jamie Redknapp Reveals Transfer Arteta’s Arsenal Will Come To Regret Following Aston Villa Defeat
Written by Albert Echatah
After witnessing Arsenal lose to Aston Villa, Jamie Redknapp worries that Arsenal is regretting trading for Granit Xhaka in the summer.
More Details
The host team occasionally rode their luck as Arsenal missed numerous good chances to tie the score, and Kai Havertz seemed to have equalized in injury time, only for the goal to be disallowed due to a handball. Due to Liverpool’s fortunate victory earlier in the day, Arsenal had to give up first place after suffering just their second league loss of the year.
Despite their high standing, Redknapp thinks Mikel Arteta’s team is still a long way from reaching their previous season’s level of play, when they came out of the traps and looked like they could beat Manchester City to the title.
Redknapp claims that the main reason for their difficulties this season has been Xhaka’s absence, who was permitted to go for Bayer Leverkusen in the summer.
‘I think if you were to assess Arsenal right now this season the facts are there, they are seven points down on where they were last year and seven goals less,’ Redknapp told Sky Sports.
‘The performances haven’t been quite as fluid there was so much to enjoy. The back four hasn’t changed in midfield with Havertz is he an upgrade on Xhaka? Right now I would say no.

Meanwhile…
Erik ten Hag is anxious to prevent Jadon Sancho from making a “empty gesture,” therefore Manchester United is apparently willing to accept a “significant loss” on him.
Sancho has a disruptive impact on the rest of United’s team, according to manager Ten Hag, who is determined to get rid of the winger.
This season, Sancho and Ten Hag had a nasty falling out, with the Dutchman publicly criticizing his player in the media for his lack of effort in practice. After spending £73 million on him in 2021, United is now willing to suffer a “significant loss” on the player in the January transfer window.
