Arsenal title winner Lee Dixon says the current team is far off being competitive.
Dixon believes Arsenal's focus on attracting promising youth players to the club dictates that manager Mikel Arteta is being handed the keys for the long-term, and suggests owner Stan Kroenke is prepared to be patient.
“The club look like they're going down [a road] of signing youth players", Dixon told Stadium Astro.
"If that's the case then that suggests to me that they [Arsenal's hierarchy] are going to give Arteta time because these players aren't going to turn it around tonight, next week or this season.
"It'll take at least two years. Has he got two years? I would suggest they're thinking yes, but ultimately there's always a breaking point."
