Arsenal hero Nigel Winterburn hopes the board backs manager Mikel Arteta in the January market.

Winterburn has urged the club's board to back Arteta in the transfer market.

He told The Sun: "I think that the fans will always have a voice, particularly if they're not happy with how things are being run behind the scenes.

"Arsenal are starting to invest a bit more money in the transfer market, they've certainly invested heavily this season.

"We have the owners there, we just need to make sure that we are starting to travel back in the right direction.

“We've fallen away from that top four, but now we need to go back in that direction.

"As long as Arteta has finances to keep improving the squad, then that would be my main concern."
