Keano reckons the selfie merchants in the Arsenal squad is hindering their title aspirations.

Although the Gunners are being touted as legitimate contenders to win the Premier League next season, Roy Keane has dismissed their chances of claiming the title.

In no-holds-barred diatribe against the vanity of professional footballers, the former Manchester United man broke down what he thinks is wrong with some of the current crop of Gunners.

“There’s too many Arsenal players interested in selfies, I think, whatever they are”

“Instead of focusing on winning Premier League titles, it’s all about how their bodies look, how their hair is, more so than winning football matches, which is the way things are going.”

“They’ve got good players, really good players, it’s just one or two of their players are more interested in selfies and six-packs,”

Keane mentioned that there is some talent in the Arsenal squad, but he reckons the better players are being held back by those who are obsessed with selfies.

“They’ve lots of good players, good characters who roll their sleeves up, just not those who are trying to get their pictures every day of the week, selfies ”
