‘Who needs Mykhailo Mudryk?’ – Piers Morgan jokes about failed Arsenal transfer after Martin Odegaard goal against Tottenham and also taunts Harry Kane

Piers Morgan joked Arsenal don't need Mykhailo Mudryk as he watched his beloved side beat Tottenham.

The Gunners raced to a two-goal lead in the first half of the north London derby as they tightened their grip on the Premier League title race.

Hugo Lloris was guilty of a clanger after Bukayo Saka's cross hit the Frenchman before going in.

Odegaard doubled their lead with a beautiful effort from 25 yards out.

And it was the Premier League Player of the Month's goal that prompted Morgan to ask 'Mykhailo who'?

The post read: "0-2!!!!! Brilliant by Odegaard… who needs Mudryk?"

Morgan's comment came just hours after Chelsea pipped Arsenal to land Mudryk - who had been heavily linked with a Gunners switch throughout the month.

In fact, the player made it clear he wanted to become a Gooner.

The Blues pulled off a dramatic transfer hijack by gazumping Arsenal's offer and the Ukraine international was announced as a new signing midway through the 1-0 win against Crystal Palace on Sunday.

Morgan had earlier accused Arsenal of being 'weak' for allowing Chelsea to nip in ahead of them.

But the TalkTV host was in a good mood soon after as his side outplayed their rivals at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

He made a string of tweets as he revelled in Arsenal's domination over their biggest rivals, posting: "Hadn’t realised just how terrible Spurs are this season. Most amusing."

Another tweet saw him post a picture of Harry Kane as a young fan in an Arsenal kit, with the caption: "Oh Harry… BIG mistake."

While the Gunners look in fine fettle, Tottenham have serious problems with a top four spot now looking more and more difficult.

Arsenal, meanwhile, moved eight points clear of Manchester City at the top of the table.
