"All I want to do is go where I'm wanted and where I'm going to play.''

Arsenal have not been finding it rosy so far this season as they have lost their first three Premier League games and have also failed to score any goal.

Pep Guardiola's side compounded Mikel Arteta's woes in the English topflight after thrashing Arsenal at Etihad Stadium on Saturday, August 28.

A brace from Ferran Torres and one each from Ilkay Gundogan, Gabriel Jesus, and Rodri ensured the Citizens outshine their visitors.

The defeat was the Gunners' third straight loss this new season having kicked off their campaign with a 2-0 defeat each to Brentford and Chelsea in their first two games.

And fans have intensified their call on the sacking of Mikel Arteta as manager of the club including Dino Melaye who was a member of the 8th Nigeria National Assembly.
