Mikel Arteta Arsenal future and approach
- Stan Collymore believes Mikel Arteta has the long-term Arsenal job
- This coach is trusted by the board of directors.

Former Liverpool striker Stan Collymore has given his take on Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta and his plan to take the Gunners to the next level.
Mikel Arteta has played down the chances of Arsenal signing a new striker in the January transfer window.
despite his team’s 2-0 loss to Liverpool in the FA Cup third round. The Gunners have failed to be clinical in recent encounters, scoring only one goal from 61 shots across their past three matches. Arteta urged the club’s fans to “stick by” the existing players instead.
Arsenal manager has admitted signing a new striker in January “doesn’t look realistic”.
Mikel Arteta could go 10 years at Arsenal and not win the Premier League
It wouldn’t make much difference to the board’s mind,” Collymore said. “But I think the plan now is to sit back and wait for the one thorn in his side, Pep Guardiola, to go.”
“I know a lot of Arsenal fans are thinking, ‘Okay, we’ve got Man City over.’ It was very close in the last two or three seasons and when Pep leaves. There certainly a few teams that are going to be higher than Arsenal.”
“However, you must not forget the fact. That Manchester United have had a complete change of management, Liverpool have built a team with a new manager and should do well. While Tottenham are in a transitional period with a new manager, Ange Postecoglou .”
“So from my perspective, Arsenal are ready to สมัคร ufabet try successful and the only thing that will guarantee great manager is that he wins trophies, starting with the Premier League.”
