Tony Cascarino insists Arsenal right-back Hector Bellerin is not a good defender.
The talkSPORT host believes the position is a ‘problem’ for Gunners boss Mikel Arteta, whose side fell to a 2-1 defeat at Brighton on Saturday.
And Cascarino says there is no player putting pressure on Bellerin’s starting place.
The 25-year-old has made 197 appearances since joining Arsenal in 2011.
Cascarino told talkSPORT: “Their right-back position is a problem. Hector Bellerin is not a good right-back for me. He’s quick, he’s pleasing on the eye. I don’t think he’s a great defender, I never have done.
“But who’s putting pressure on him? [Ainsley] Maitland-Niles has become a sort of wing-back, but he’s not going to do it.
“On the other side, they’re fine. [Bukayo] Saka can play left-back, [Kieran] Tierney can play left-back, no problem.”
Cascarino has tipped Arteta to axe senior members of his squad this summer.
He added: “They’ve got no goals in midfield, it’s all top-heavy with [Alexandre] Lacazette, [Pierre-Emerick] Aubameyang, [Nicolas] Pepe, [Gabriel] Martinelli – those type of forwards.
“I personally think until they get a team ethic in that club and that means everyone contributing – defenders contributing, midfielders and forwards – that club is going to stand still.
“There have got to be some huge decisions made by Arteta over senior members of his squad that he’s going to have to get out the door.
“Even if it makes them a slightly poorer side, he has to make big calls on certain players.”
