Arteta: It’s A Privilege To Manage Unique Arsenal Squad

By Daily Sports Nigeria on October 4, 2022

Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta has claimed that it is a “privilege” to manage his current Gunners crop in the wake of their 3-1 North London derby win over Tottenham Hotspur.

The 40-year-old witnessed Thomas Partey, Gabriel Jesus and Granit Xhaka find the back of the net as he became only the third Arsenal manager in history to win each of his first three league North London derbies at home.

Arsenal moved four points clear of their North London rivals with victory on Saturday before Manchester City cut the gap at the top back down to one point with a 6-3 win over Manchester United 24 hours later.

With 21 points taken from a possible 24, whispers of a title charge are beginning to emanate from the Emirates, and Arteta is overjoyed to work with his “unique” squad at London Colney.

When asked by the press if he is aiming to build a legacy with his current Arsenal team, the Spaniard responded: “I don’t know if it is, if it’s possible. But I would like to.

“Especially because of how they are as human beings. What we are trying to do is much deeper than just being professional and play for the club. If we can and results and other things allow us I would like to.

“I’ve said many times and everyone that works with them on daily basis will always say the same thing – to work with them is a privilege. It’s great to see their enjoyment and passion. You see a sense of something that is unique and real. It’s great to be part of it as a player and as manager.”
