Arteta's Coaching Is Really Top Class

The Arsenal faithful must agree that when Mikel Arteta took over the helm at the Emirates, it was never going to be a quick fix. The current Gunners boss obviously did not take over a steady ship.

He took over a ship which was halfway submerged in the sea, sinking. The former assistant coach of Manchester City first decided on addressing the most important aspect of the team. Which was the defense. Although many argue that Arteta’s cautious approach has led the team going on a dry spell from scoring. Gradually the team is showing signs that they can defend as well as score.

Since the Spaniard took over Arsenal in January 2019, Arsenal have boasted one of the meanest defenses in the Premier League.

Former Arsenal defender Lee Dixon who made 458 appearances for the Gunners, scoring 25 goals, had a bit of an exciting news for the Arsenal faithful.

Speaking to the Premier League Productions, the former right-back said, “Word that I get back from the training ground, from people who I know that are still there, is that he is a brilliant coach.”

The England international who retired in 2002 continued, “His coaching is really top class. So, he will improve these players. It’s whether he can get the quality through the door to supplement those youngsters as well.”

The Spaniard was given a three-and-a-half-year contract at North-London at the point of his appointment. But if things don’t change, Arsenal might have no good evidence to prove that Arteta is the right man for them.

Time is running out for Arteta, and he must prove that Arsenal have got it right with him.

Elneny Eyeing New Contract At Arsenal After Earning Second Chance Under Arteta

The Egyptian midfielder spent the 2019-20 season on loan at Besiktas but has been welcomed back into the Gunners fold by a Spanish tactician Mohamed Elneny is looking to complete a remarkable turnaround at Arsenal by landing himself a contract extension. The Egyptian midfielder appeared destined to be heading for the exits when Unai Emery sent him out on loan to Besiktas at the start of the 2019-20 campaign, with alternative options being favoured in north London. Another Spanish coach, Mikel Arteta, has found room for the 28-year-old within his plans, though, and it could be that fresh terms are now thrashed out at Emirates Stadium. What has been said? Elneny has said in the Evening Standard: “Of course, for me I am always loyal to Arsenal. “And if Arsenal say to me: ‘Sign a new contract’, of course I would be happy to do this.” When does Elneny’s current deal expire? Arsenal snapped up a hard-working performer from FC Basel in January 2016. Elneny has taken in 119 appearances for the...

Two Premier League Clubs Want On-Loan Arsenal Man

Crystal Palace and Leeds United are interested in signing Ainsley Maitland-Niles in the summer. The Arsenal man has spent this second half of the season on loan at West Brom after finding first-team chances scarce at the Emirates. He could have joined several teams but chose Sam Allardyce’s struggling side because they guaranteed him minutes in midfield. He has been an ever-present in their team since he made the move from the Emirates. It remains unclear if his performances have earned him the right to get more playing time at Arsenal next season. However, if the Gunners decide that he can leave, the two Premier League teams will pounce to sign him, according to Mirror Football. They face competition from AS Monaco from outside, but he is likely to choose an England stay. Leeds has been one of the best teams to watch in the Premier League this season. Palace is looking to reduce the average age of their squad when the transfer window reopens again and they consider him to be one ...

Arsenal Started Negotiations With 19-Year-Old Brazilian Striker

Kaio Jorge has become a hot property in the transfer market ahead of the summer transfer window. The Brazilian centre-forward is being chased by Arsenal and Chelsea among several other top European teams, with his contract with Santos running out in December. Kaio joined the Santos academy in 2012 at the age of 10 before making rapid strides within the youth setup. Jorge made such a quick impression on his youth bosses that he ended up making his first-team debut in 2018 while still only 16. Since then, he has progressed considerably and has gone on to play 50 further games for Santos. The Brazilian club, though, are in a precarious position over the future of the 19-year-old striker, whose current deal will expire when the year ends. This situation has alerted a number of top clubs in Europe, including Gunners and Chelsea, to the possible availability of the 19-year-old striker. Gunners are set to be forced into the market for a striker owing to the uncertain future of Ale...
