Arsenal News: Mikel Arteta has talked about his future at Arsenal in a recent interview. It was revealed that Ligue 1 champs PSG had tried to sign him. However, Arteta did not join them. The Spaniard is committed to the Gunners’ cause and recently confirmed the same. He suggested that he is in full-sync with the Arsenal project and wants to stay.

However, in the interview, there were some comments that might have gotten the fans a little worried. The manager also spoke about his exit from Arsenal. He suggested that it was inevitable that he might have to leave North London someday. And the Gunners’ main-man was ready for it.

Arsenal News: What Were The Comments In The Presser That Got The Gooners Across The Globe Talking!?

Firstly, the Gooners across the globe were shocked that PSG had approached Mikel Arteta. It was something unexpected, though the club from France is looking for a new boss. They turned to their former player and were looking to bring him in. However, it was something unexpected, with Nagelsmann said to be their priority.

However, in football, anything can happen. And so, they turned to the current Arsenal boss, who is also their former player. This was interesting and Mikel Arteta turned them down.

PSG’s sporting director Luis Campos recently spoke to Arteta. He suggested the thought of him to be Galtier’s potential successor, though there was no real offer. The two had talks, but Arteta turned him down. And that’s why it was all over the news.

However, he has admitted that it is “inevitable” that he leave the Emirates someday in the future. He stated in Michael Calvin’s Football People podcast, “As a manager, probably it’s the (biggest) fear of getting sacked.”

“I made a very conscious decision the day I made the decision to become a coach – I said: ‘It will happen. Today, tomorrow, in a month’s time, in 10 years’ time. Do not know when it will happen.’ That cannot drive my emotion and this cannot be the reason why I do certain things or not. For me now the fear is to let people down.”

What Next For The Spaniard As The Transfer Window Is Now Open!?

Mikel Arteta, Edu and co. are working on some big transfers for the current window. Their priority target is Declan Rice. And they want to bring the West Ham skipper to the Emirates, as soon as possible.

However, there have been some ups and downs in the current deal. The transfer saga is in the favour of the Gunners. Despite that, Manchester City could be still in this transfer battle. If the Cityzens spend on Rice, then Arsenal may lose out on the player.

The Gunners are keen on the player, who wants regular football. Arsenal can give him that and he also wants Champions League football. Both teams have that and he is a London boy. So, there is a slight advantage that the Gunners have.

However, getting deals over the line is something that Arsenal always has problems with. And the latest Arsenal news worries the fans, who want to see deals done faster. It will be interesting to see if the Gunners can make a strong statement in this window or not!? If they fail to get in more top players, they could struggle next season!!
