Mikel Arteta spoke to the media after Arsenal’s win over Everton on Sunday and while he was full of praise for Bernd Leno and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, he also revealed he’d challenged Auba to do more defensively after doubts over his fitness.
Arsenal claimed what could well be a huge win over Everton despite having to battle both the Toffees and the officials, once again.
Bernd Leno says Mikel Arteta plans to play him in the Europa League as well as the Premier League, breaking with the tradition of the last few years.
It has a been a thoroughly disappointing season so far for the Gunners, but the Europa League still offers the hope of significant silverware, and, perhaps more important, a back door into the Champions League next season. But is their defence up to the job?
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Bernd Leno and Gabriel Martinelli all received nominations for the London Football Awards on Thursday.
Bernd Leno thinks Arsenal just need to start taking their chances, arguing the defensive improvement is clear to see under Mikel Arteta.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is focused on Arsenal according to Bernd Leno who says speculation over the striker’s future is not having any impact on the squad.
January was Mikel Arteta’s first full month in charge of Arsenal, so how did the players rate?
