A former member of the 8th Nigeria National Assembly, representing Kogi West Senatorial District, Senator Dino Melaye has seek God’s intervention for the removal of Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta.

A 10-man Arsenal side were hammered 5-0 by Premier League champions Manchester City at the Etihad on Saturday.

Prior to Saturday’s fixture, Arteta had overseen defeats to newly promoted Brentford and Chelsea.

Arsenal are now only the second team in Premier League history to lose their first three matches in a season and have a goal difference of minus nine.

Wolverhampton Wanderers were the first team during the 2003-04 season and they went on to finish bottom of the table.

The latest defeat has witnessed more calls for the removal of Arteta who replaced fellow Spaniard Unai Emery in 2020.

And Arsenal fan Melaye has joined in the call for Arteta to be sacked.

“Arsenal coach: God please chase him far from the team,” Melaye wrote on his Twitter handle.

Arsenal are bottom in the league table with no points and no goals scored after three games played.
