Recently, after a pivotal Premier League game, Mikel Arteta revealed a humorous story from his family background. When Heung-Min Son missed a simple opportunity to score against Manchester City, his kids raced about with their heads in their hands. The outcomes on the last day determine Arsenal’s season. To win the Premier League for the first time in twenty years, they must defeat Everton and hope City stumbles against West Ham.
Any way Sunday turns out, Arsenal has had a fantastic season. Not many teams are able to confront City, but they did. Arteta related the dramatic scene during the Spurs vs. City game. Everything may have changed if Son had scored a goal. City won 2-0, however, thanks to two goals from Erling Haaland. When Son was alone with City’s goalie, Stefan Ortega, Spurs had a fantastic chance. Although everyone thought Son would score, Ortega saved the day.
Mikel Arteta Makes His Feelings Known About Son’s Miss Against Manchester City
With great attention to detail, Arteta detailed his emotional rollercoaster after Son missed.

He added: “To have the chance to be living it, next to your family and next to your colleagues, being part of that, is magic as well.”
Son has the adoration of Arteta, who said, “If I had to pick a player in the Premier League for that moment, it probably would be him.” He compared the circumstances to those of Michael Jordan, emphasizing the strain and anticipation that accompany such critical times. “Michael Jordan said it many times, how many times he had the winning shot, it was always him,” Arteta said.

Benjamin Sesko, a target of Arsenal and Chelsea, is allegedly in advanced discussions for a summer transfer. Both Premier League teams are quite interested in the €50 million striker from RB Leipzig. Being one of Europe’s most talented young attackers, Sesko has established a name. After initially drawing notice at Red Bull Salzburg, he was sold to RB Leipzig for around €24 million in the summer of 2016. The 20-year-old has recovered from a sluggish start. He has scored 17 goals and dished out two assists in 41 games this season.
Arsenal believes Sesko can help them with their offensive problems. The Gunners are looking for a more dependable striker as Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah have had difficulty being consistent. Arsenal is currently having advanced talks with the Slovenian international as their chase of him has increased. His signing would strengthen their offensive options for the next season, they hope. Though not as their main goal, Chelsea is also keeping an eye on Sesko. Keeping Sesko as a backup, the Blues are giving signing Victor Osimhen first priority. Should their attempts to get Osimhen fail, Chelsea will concentrate on the youthful RB Leipzig striker.
