Piers Morgan: How Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger can win me over

Piers Morgan says that he would get “100 per cent” behind Arsene Wenger – if the Arsenal manager signs four key players this summer.

The celebrity Arsenal fan has made no secret of his lack of faith in Wenger in recent seasons following the Gunners’ failure to challenge for the Premier League title.

The former Daily Mirror editor was at Wembley on Saturday as the Gunners lifted the FA Cup for the second season running after wrapping up a third-place finish in the top flight.

However, Morgan took to social media on Sunday morning to underline his belief that Arsenal are in need of world-class signings in four important positions this summer if they want to challenge for the Premier League title next season.

Nice to win FA Cup again. But 3rd in PL, 12pts behind Chelsea, & last 16 exit from CL for 5th straight year is not a 'great season'. #afc

Arsenal need a world class GK, CB, CDM & striker to properly challenge for the League. If Wenger signs them, I will be 100% behind him. #afc

Morgan went on to insist that he is fully entitled to his opinion.

I own a £160k stake in Arsenal, spend £8k on 4 season tickets a year, and blew £11k on a box yesterday. I think I'm allowed an opinion. #afc

My opinion's worth no more, no less than another other Arsenal fan. But the money I spend supporting the club entitles me to have my say.

Arsenal fans pay highest ticket prices in world football. Our expectations should be based on that. #afc

Arsenal’s FA Cup triumph on Saturday was their 12th, and means that Wenger’s men will take on Chelsea in the Community Shield in August.
