Some Arsenal fans have been lashing out after statistics emerged comparing various Premier League clubs and their goals from midfield tally.

Despite the lack of attacking threat from Arteta’s central options, there still remains uncertainty over the 21-year-old’s future in north London with David Ornstein claiming the outfit won’t rush into a decision.
