Mikel Arteta has less than a week left on the training pitches at London Colney before Arsenal return to action. The Gunners have won each of their last four games across all competitions, and they remain unbeaten in the Premier League since April.
Arteta’s side will be keen to extend that streak when they face Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday afternoon. As it stands, just one point separates Liverpool at the top of the table from Manchester City and the north Londoners.
Mikel Arteta was once considered a ‘genuine contender’ to replace Pep Guardiola at Manchester City. The report states that the Premier League champions used to view the Spaniard as a potential option, even when he was struggling during his early days at Arsenal.
