Is he doing enough? If I was Arsenal I\u2019d sell him if the money\u2019s right. I think they were trying during the summer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would look at a long-term replacement because as much as he\u2019s a good player, the injuries will just get worse the older he gets.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The midfielder\u2019s deployment in Arsenal games recently has also sparked concerns following Arteta\u2019s choice of frequently using him as a right back as against his preferred holding midfield role.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/ghana\">Ghana<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Ghana.
