Yakubu reveals how Arteta’s Arsenal can beat Liverpool to Premier League title

African football great Yakubu Ayegbeni (42) says Arsenal must sign a striker to have a chance of winning the Premier League this season, ahead of Liverpool.

The Gunners kept up their bid for the Premier League title with a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday night.

After being initially put behind by Son Heung-Min’s opener, Mikel Arteta’s side fought back to secure all three points with Dominic Solanke’s own goal and a strike from Leandro Trossard.

With the result, Arsenal have moved up to second in the standings, now just four points behind leaders Liverpool, who have a game in hand.

While not dismissing the possibility of the Gunners challenging the Reds to end their 21-year wait, the former Middlesbrough and Everton striker believes the club needs more firepower in attack to make it happen.

"This season is proving to be quite challenging. When you look at how Liverpool are performing, they're dropping points little by little. It's an opportunity for Arsenal to capitalise on that," Ayegbeni told Flashscore.

"We've seen in the past few seasons - last year, two years ago, and three years ago - Arsenal putting pressure on Manchester City. Right now, City aren’t in the best form; they're struggling.

"For Arsenal (to win the league), it’s just a matter of getting a striker. Once they do, I believe they can push Liverpool all the way to the end."
