I’ve kept silent for a while, but after what I witnessed from him yesterday, I can’t anymore. He’s absolutely useless, and Arteta must offload him before it affects the team next season,” Arsene has reportedly warned Arteta to sell this specific player in the summer — and it’s neither Rice nor Raya

Arsenal legend Arsène Wenger has reportedly issued a strong warning to Mikel Arteta, urging the current Gunners boss to offload a specific player ahead of next season. While speculation quickly ruled out key figures like Declan Rice and David Raya, the identity of the underperforming player remains closely guarded — though fans have already begun to speculate.

According to reports emerging from the post-match press conference, Wenger didn’t hold back in his assessment:
“I’ve kept silent for a while, but after what I witnessed from him yesterday, I can’t anymore. He’s absolutely useless, and Arteta must offload him before it affects the team next season.”

While Wenger is known for his loyalty to Arsenal players, his unusually blunt comments suggest that frustrations behind the scenes may be growing, especially after Arsenal’s recent performances.

The revelation has sparked intense debate among Arsenal supporters, with many on social media naming possible candidates they believe Wenger could be referring to. Some have pointed fingers at fringe attackers, while others suspect a struggling midfielder might be on the chopping block.

Mikel Arteta, meanwhile, has kept his cards close to his chest, but with the summer transfer window approaching, changes to the squad are inevitable as Arsenal look to strengthen their title credentials.

Wenger’s rare public criticism highlights the high expectations surrounding the club and the ruthlessness needed to maintain momentum in the Premier League title race.

More clarity is expected in the coming days as transfer talks and internal reviews progress.
