Former Arsenal defender, William Gallas has named the Gunners as the flop of the Premier League season.

The Frenchman said he was disappointed with the performances of Arsenal this ongoing campaign.

According to Gallas, Arsenal have dropped in performance compared to the last two seasons.

Arsenal are expected to finish in the second position on the Premier League table after Liverpool were confirmed champions following their 5-1 win against Tottenham last weekend.

Mikel Arteta’s men are in second position ahead of the likes of Manchester City, Newcastle United Chelsea, Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa.

Speaking to Prime Casino, Gallas said:
“In the Premier League, Arsenal are my flops of the season! If you compare last season and the one from two years ago with this season, their performance has not been good at all.

“Their performances in the Premier League have not been good enough. I’m sorry, I am still disappointed in them, regardless of the Champions League.

“After those high quality and world class performances against Real Madrid, I wanted more from them in the league.

“I am angry about what happened in the league. I am furious even, because I can’t accept one level of performance in the Champions League and a different level of performance in the Premier League,” he added.

Super Eagles playmaker, Alex Iwobi, has admitted they are waiting to see if the team would still play at the 2026 World Cup.

The Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, is optimistic of a potential lifeline from FIFA, after it submitted a petition against the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Iwobi was asked by SuperSport if he would rather lift the AFCON 2025 trophy or qualify for the World Cup?

The 29-year-old, who played at the 2018 of the World Cup, replied: “I mean we’re still waiting, well hopefully we can go to the World Cup, but I feel it’s a tough one.

“It’s a tough one because winning AFCON is like… It’s a great legacy, it’s a great thing to have like in your career, a memorable moment.

“But then at the same time, because I’ve been to the World Cup already, a lot of the players haven’t been. They would like to say ‘I want to go to the World Cup,’ so I can’t be selfish and say win the AFCON and for my teammates to not go to the World Cup. So it’s a tough one. I don’t know. I don’t know.”
