Arsenal need to strengthen their squad despite stunning Liverpool according to head coach Mikel Arteta.
Arsenal beat Premier League champions Liverpool 2-1 on Wednesday at the Emirates.
The Gunners trailed to Sadio Mane’s opener but pulled a comeback with Alexandre Lacazette and Reiss Nelson scoring.
”I think its pretty clear that we need to strengthen,” Arteta told reporters after the match.
Arsenal have not won the Premier League since 2004. They have also not managed a top-four finish since 2015-16 season.
Asked on how long it will take to close the gap, Arteta said in a news conference: ”Well I have seen it and I have experienced it. To do it in one year, and I have seen other clubs never do it. Or some clubs do it in four or five years.
”Depends on the context, depends on the resources, depends on how much you have to change.
”We are in a process, we don’t know at the moment. There is a lot of uncertainty in many areas, what we can control now is who we want to be as a team, the culture we are building in order to do that, the spirit to be successful and then improve our players.
”My main focus is to make our players better, make them feel more comfortable and create an identity for the club because it will be easier to say we need this, this and this.”
Arsenal will face Manchester City on Saturday in the FA Cup semi-final before visiting Aston Villa on Tuesday.
