Mikel Arteta claimed after Arsenal’s 0-0 draw with Everton that the Gunners lacked “a spark” and that the Spanish manager could have found that in West Ham star Mohammed Kudus.
It was a huge blow for Arsenal on Saturday as the north London club failed to capitalize on Premier League leaders Liverpool, dropping points at home to Fulham.
The Gunners could only manage a 0-0 draw with Everton at the Emirates, which left Arteta incredibly disappointed after the full-time whistle. The 42-year-old told the press his team lacked “a spark” to get over the line but was happy with the chances created.
“In the end, you need a spark and you have to be precise,” Arteta said via Sky Sports. “We had the chances and this could have been 2-0 or 3-0, and (then) nobody talks about it.
“They’re not going to talk about all the incredible things the team did during the game. It’s certainly not energy when I see my team’s trackback. It’s amazing.”

Arsenal could look to West Ham’s Mohammed Kudus to provide a spark
Many Arsenal fans will want to see their club bring in a new striker next summer as the Gunners lack a player with that killer instinct in front of goal. The The Premier League giants are interested in a move for Juventus star Dusan Vlahovicin which they have had a long-term interest.
according to The MirrorWest Ham’s Mohammed Kudus could arrive at the Emirates Stadium next summer, but the north London outfit face competition from Newcastle and Liverpool for the versatile winger – the The Reds are said to be very interested in Kudus.
The Ghana international has proved a huge threat since arriving in the Premier League last summer from Ajax when he signed a contract with West Ham until 2028.
The Hammers will not want to let Kudus go easily and if Arsenal want the 24-year-old to provide the ‘spark’ that Arteta is looking for, they may have to pay a hefty fee for the player.
