Mikel Arteta has another week, or so, on the training pitches at London Colney before Arsenal get back to action. The Gunners will face Nottingham Forest at the Emirates Stadium after the international break as both sides hope to climb the Premier League table.
Arsenal head into that top-flight clash off the back of the draw to Chelsea – not to mention defeats to Inter Milan and Newcastle United. The north London side are nine points behind Liverpool in the title race, and Arteta’s under pressure to transform his men’s fortunes.
Alexander Isak has insisted that he’s ‘fully focused’ at Newcastle. The 25-year-old striker has been linked with a move to Arsenal for a while now as he continues to impress in the Premier League.
