Arsenal league title winner Merson blasts: What are Arteta, Aubameyang doing?

Arsenal league title winner Paul Merson has hit out at the current team.

The former midfielder doubts that manager Mikel Arteta is improving the side and has lambasted captain and star striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Arsenal are currently 12th in the table and Merson who played for the north London club between 1985-97 believes they are where they should be.

He told Sky Sports: "You watch them and think they are a middle-of-the-table team.

"Looking back at that win at Manchester United, it doesn't look so great now. Do not even start me on Manchester United, it's no big licks going there and getting a result at the moment.

"Where are Arsenal going? People say you can see what Arteta is trying to do, but I'm not sure.

"Aubameyang is bringing absolutely nothing to the party at the moment. He played central (against Leeds) and he was ineffective as he was before."
