The‍ manager

Arteta enjoys meditating or delving into decision-making literature,⁤ like Malcolm Gladwell’s ⁣Blink, during his afternoons away from the pressures of football. Given his meticulous approach ⁣to strategizing against his former mentor Guardiola, it must be tiring for him, especially since he⁣ rises at 5:30 a.m. daily “thinking about winning.” While the former ‍midfielder has garnered affection from his players, he also demonstrates a ruthless side — ‍fan ⁣favorite Emile Smith Rowe has been considered excess and transferred to Fulham. Completing​ his fifth full season since taking⁣ over for Unai Emery in 2019, Arteta is fiercely determined to break City’s​ dominance.

Off-field picture

Arsenal’s ownership is financially robust,⁤ which was ⁢demonstrated last summer when they invested over £200m on Rice, Havertz, ⁢and Jurriën Timber.⁢ The ‍value ⁢of Kroenke Sports & ‍Entertainment‍ rose by‌ £2.3bn last year; however, plans for​ further spending this⁣ summer have been hindered by⁢ profitability and sustainability regulations after last year’s significant expenditures. More ‌signings are anticipated despite potential departures of fringe players like Reiss Nelson ⁢and Eddie Nketiah to maintain financial ⁤balance. One major asset in Arsenal’s resurgence under Arteta has been his solid partnership with ⁤sporting ⁢director Edu and​ co-chair Josh Kroenke, both crucial in reshaping the squad.

Breakout star

Timber’s campaign started poorly after suffering an anterior cruciate ligament injury during his ​Premier League debut—but the Netherlands international is eager to showcase his skills if he can maintain fitness levels moving forward. His versatility allows him to compete across multiple positions including full-back roles as​ well as ⁣central defense and ⁢midfield pivoting. Furthermore, at just ‌23 years ⁢old, he possesses‍ remarkable goal-scoring ability—as evidenced in​ a stellar performance following injury recovery while playing for Arsenal’s Under 21s last ‌season. ‍Additionally, supporters will⁣ be ‍looking for academy⁤ talents​ such as Myles Lewis-Skelly, Ethan ⁤Nwaneri ⁢and Salah-Eddine Oulad M’Hand ⁢to make their mark⁤ after‌ impressive performances during the pre-season‌ tour in⁢ the US.
