Former Liverpool captain Jamie Carragher has taken a swipe at Arsenal’s January transfer business, claiming that the Gunners failed to address ‘the same old problems’.

Arsenal broke their transfer record to bring Borussia Dortmund forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to the Emirates Stadium on deadline day.

Aubameyang followed former Dortmund teammate Henrikh Mkhitaryan to the club, with the Armenian joining in the deal that saw Alexis Sanchez move to Manchester United.

Pundit Carragher, however, is astounded that head coach Arsene Wenger did not look to improve defensively during the winter window.

Indeed, the Gunners lost 3-1 at Swansea City in the Premier League on Tuesday night, with a couple of defensive errors costing the capital outfit once again.

Carragher has claimed that Arsenal ‘might actually get worse’ with their new January arrivals because more focus will be taken away from the defensive side of the match.

Carragher told Sky Sports:

“My big problem with the transfers is the same old problems, we saw that midweek at Swansea. You just think, you are continually buying attacking players but seeing the old problems.

“The problems are not going away, and they’re not going away because of what’s happened January. They may actually get worse because there are more attacking players on the pitch.”

Arsenal will look to return to winning ways in the Premier League when they welcome Everton to the Emirates Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
