“We have a lot to improve on”- Arsenal’s head coach Mikel Arteta has said he’s not fully happy with his team’s current form and sees the need to improve.
Mikel Arteta claims his team have ‘a lot’ to improve on after Arsene Wenger heaped praise on the Spanish head-coach’s club.
Arteta’s team sits top of the table after managing to win five of their first six matches this term, a stark contrast to their run of three consecutive defeats at the start of the 2021/22 season.
The ex-Manchester City assistant manager also picked up the Premier League head-coach of the month award for August.
Former Arsenal boss Wenger coached Arteta as a player and helped inspire him to take up a career in management.
Giving his thoughts on the current Arsenal team, Arsene Wenger claimed the team had ‘no weak position’ and insisted they shouldn’t be ruled out of the title race this campaign.
‘I would say they are moving in the right direction,’ he said.
‘I honestly think there is no weak position in the team… they are young, promising players and they have bought well this year.
‘There is no completely dominating team this season and Arsenal has a chance with the potential that is there.
‘We used to be in the top four and why not again? You cannot even rule out the fact that they can fight for the title and hopefully they can do it.’
Reacting to the North London giants legend’s claim, Arteta told Sky Sports: ‘It’s great to hear that from Arsene after being with him every single day!
‘But I see a lot of things that we still have to improve on and get better at. We are heading in the right direction but we can become much, much better.’
