Jamie O’Hara has questioned why some Arsenal fans are hailing this summer as the one of the club’s best transfer windows ever.

The former Tottenham midfielder actually believes the Gunners team has been WEAKENED by some of their transfer activity and says they have not spent wisely in the market.

Arsenal have undergone a bit of a change up in their dressing room this summer with Aaron Ramsey leaving to join Juventus and Dani Ceballos arriving from Real Madrid on loan to replace him.

And on Thursday the north Londoners confirmed the club-record signing of Ivory Coast forward Nicolas Pepe from Lille in a deal worth £72million.

Fans are thrilled by the arrival of the 24-year-old, who was reportedly wanted by a host of other clubs – including Liverpool – but he turned them down to join the Gunners.

But O’Hara says they have not yet strengthened where they really need it – at the back.

Speaking on Thursday’s Drivetime, he said: “Everyone is getting a little bit carried away, saying it’s their best transfer window…

“Look, Pepe is a very good player but he’s not proven in the Premier League, and they’ve signed Ceballos from Real Madrid but they’ve lost Ramsey and he was a big player for them.”

Drive host Adrian Durham then added: “That has weakened them. In my opinion, Ceballos for Ramsey weakens Arsenal.”

“In my opinion, too,” said O’Hara.

“I think Ramsey has gone to a better club in Juventus and he’s gone for ambition, it’s where he wants to be to win trophies. I don’t think that’s going to happen at Arsenal

“They’ve needed to strengthen at the back.
