Mikel Arteta is a graduate of the Arsene Wenger and Pep Guardiola school of coaching, with ex-Arsenal goalkeeper Graham Stack explaining to GOAL the similarities that a title-winning tactician at Emirates Stadium shares with other Premier League champions. Arteta has become a managerial master in his own right, with important lessons being learned along the way.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has revealed his players were left "fuming" following a 3-1 pre-season defeat against Real Betis in Dublin. The Gunners were heavily punished for a series of defensive errors as they suffered a disappointing loss in their summer schedule.
Christian Norgaard has officially left Arsenal to join Everton in a permanent £7 million summer transfer. The experienced Danish midfielder departs north London after just one season, revealing that Gunners boss Mikel Arteta actively encouraged his exciting move to Goodison Park.
Mikel Arteta remained coy when questioned about Arsenal's pursuit of Newcastle United star Bruno Guimaraes following a pre-season clash in Dublin. With reports circulating that a massive £75 million deal has been struck between the two Premier League rivals, the Gunners boss faced the media to address the speculation surrounding the Brazilian midfielder.
Former Arsenal midfielder Anders Limpar believes Mikel Arteta will never leave the Gunners for Barcelona or Manchester City. However, the Swede warned that keeping a squad packed with world-class talent happy will present the manager with the toughest test of his career.
Former Arsenal midfielder Anders Limpar believes Mikel Arteta's side are favourites to retain the Premier League title following Pep Guardiola's departure. He also claims a trio of ambitious signings could turn the Gunners into a dominant force in England and Europe.
Jack Wilshere believes Arsenal would be sending a massive "statement" to the rest of the Premier League if they successfully land both Bruno Guimaraes and Vinicius Junior. The former Gunners midfielder insists that pursuing such high-calibre talent proves Mikel Arteta is not resting on his laurels after last season's title success.
Arsenal’s ambitious pursuit of Vinicius Jr has encountered a significant reality check as the Brazilian superstar officially reported back for duty at Real Madrid. Despite heavy speculation regarding a blockbuster move to north London, the forward appears focused on his immediate future in the Spanish capital.
New Arsenal recruit Christos Tzolis has sent a defiant message to Mikel Arteta, insisting he is ready to fight for his place despite the club’s pursuit of Real Madrid superstar Vinicius Junior. The Greek international has made an immediate impression during pre-season by scoring in his debut following his summer move from Club Brugge.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has reportedly taken the lead in the pursuit of Vinicius Junior by holding direct talks with the Real Madrid superstar. A contract standoff at the Bernabeu has opened the door for a Premier League switch, but the Gunners will have to meet a record-breaking asking price to pull off the monumental move.
The representatives of Real Madrid superstar Vinicius Junior have hit back at what they describe as "fake and damaging" reports concerning the Brazilian forward's future. Amid intense speculation linking the winger with a sensational move to Premier League giants Arsenal, Roc Nation Sports International released a firm statement calling for greater media accountability.
Mikel Arteta has addressed the growing speculation amid Arsenal's interest in Vinicius Junior, insisting the club will be 'very ambitious' in the upcoming transfer market. The Gunners are reportedly monitoring the Brazilian's contract situation at Real Madrid as they look to add world-class quality to their attacking ranks.
Mikel Arteta has called on his Arsenal players to push the club into a "different dimension" following their Premier League title triumph. The Spanish boss insists that ending their 22-year wait for the trophy is merely the baseline for future success.
Arsenal have ended their long wait for Premier League title glory, with ‘Invincibles’ squad member Jeremie Aliadiere telling GOAL that Champions League success will now become more of a priority for the Gunners. Mikel Arteta’s side reached the final of that competition last season, but north London is still waiting on a historic first European Cup triumph.
Arsenal have reportedly reached a total agreement with Club Brugge for the transfer of Christos Tzolis. The Gunners are set to pay a fee in the region of £34 million to bring the Greece international back to the Premier League.
Mikel Arteta is capable of eclipsing Arsene Wenger’s achievements and becoming a four-time Premier League title winner at Arsenal, Stefan Schwarz has told GOAL, as “the hardest one is always the first one”. That box has been ticked by a Spanish tactician at Emirates Stadium, with the challenge now being to build a new dynasty in north London.
