Arsenal "cannot win the title" this season after Mikel Arteta prioritised signing Mikel Merino over a striker in the summer, according to Jamie Carragher.

Arsenal ran Manchester City close in each of the last two Premier League seasons but has not been able to capitalize on City's drop-off this season, with Liverpool taking control of the title race

Jamie Carragher believes Arsenal will not win the Premier League unless they sign an attacker in January - and says failure to do so will be "negligent". Earlier this week it was revealed that the Gunners will be without Gabriel Jesus for the rest of the season after the Brazilian suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury during the FA Cup defeat to Manchester United on Sunday.

Jamie Carragher fears Arsenal’s refusal to prioritise signing a forward in the summer transfer window could cost Arsenal the Premier League title. After two consecutive near misses, the Gunners were heavily tipped to finally end Manchester City’s dominance this season.

With the Premier League title within Liverpool and Arne Slot’s grasp at the midway stage of the season, Jamie Carragher feels there is one signing that'd tip the scales further in their favour
