Premier League record goalscorer Alan Shearer (Picture: Getty)Alan Shearer says Mikel Arteta has ‘one or two things he needs to iron out’ as he bids to win the Premier League and secure other silverware at Arsenal. Arsenal’s aspirations do not solely lie in the Premier League, however, with Arteta’s side favourites to win the Champions League after topping the group stage table with eight straight wins. The England legend and Premier League record goalscorer is ‘surprised’ by the form of £67.5m Arsenal signing Eberechi Eze, for example, and says his recent struggles could even cost him a place in England’s World Cup squad. Shearer has described Eze’s downfall as ‘remarkable’ and insists Arsenal looked ‘better’ without their big-money summer signing against Brentford.
