Former England captain Alan Shearer has slammed Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur for failing to sign a top striker this summer.
The transfer window in England has closed a short while ago, but there is a feeling that the north London duo have failed to strengthen significantly, especially up front.
Shearer has been scathing in his assessment of the north London rivals and feels Tottenham’s season depends on the fitness of Harry Kane.
The former England striker wrote on Twitter: “So a total of zero forwards are on their way to north London!
So a total of zero forwards are on their way to north London! #THFC & #Arsenal still short up top #THFC had better hope @hkane28 stays fit!

While Tottenham signed Clinton Njie and Son Heung-min as forward options, they failed to wriggle Saido Berahino away from West Brom despite slapping in four bids.
Arsenal on the other hand failed to make any significant additions to their squad after snapping up Petr Cech from Chelsea and their lack of any new outfit players has left the Gunners faithful deflated.
Arsene Wenger did consider options before the transfer window, but never got close to getting a deal done for a new player after signing Cech.
