Exclusive: Mikel Arteta desires an Arsenal team that is rejuvenated and revitalized, aiming to put an end to the pattern of disappointing outcomes.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has expressed his frustration at his team’s inability to capitalize on their chances in recent matches. Following a winter break in Dubai, Arteta hopes that his squad will break the cycle of poor results and end their goal drought.
The Gunners suffered three consecutive defeats against West Ham United, Fulham, and Liverpool, managing to score only one goal in those matches. In an exclusive interview with TNT Sports, Arteta emphasized the need for his team to find solutions and improve their goal-scoring abilities.
Despite the recent setbacks, Arteta remains positive and believes that the break has re-energized the squad for the second half of the season. Arsenal will face Crystal Palace in their next Premier League fixture, and Arteta is confident that his team can bounce back.
Arteta has experienced tough runs of form before during his time at Arsenal. However, he has managed to guide the team out of those slumps in the past. He acknowledges the importance of winning to gain time and convince people of the value of his work.
The Arsenal manager also highlighted the need for competition within the squad, as it helps players improve and understand their roles. He praised the development of young players like Bukayo Saka and William Saliba, who have thrived under his guidance.
Looking ahead, Arteta believes there is still room for improvement in the squad, particularly in terms of leadership and goal-scoring abilities. He is determined to continue developing the team and hopes to see progress in these areas.
Arsenal’s match against Crystal Palace will be broadcast live on TNT Sports, with coverage starting at 11:00 on Saturday, January 20. Fans can subscribe to TNT Sports through various TV platforms to watch the game.
