While his City team was consistently flying right at the top of the Premier League before Arteta joined, Arsenal was in a severe slump and battling to qualify for the Champions League.

Arteta learned of the issues at the Emirates at a meeting with Arsenal shortly before he joined the team, and he resolved to aid his old team in getting better.

Marca was informed by Arteta that "this started three years ago." "When Pep and I played against Arsenal while I was Pep's assistant at City, I could see that the club had lost its essence. You were unable to experience it or feel it.I was aware that I may switch to sitting on the other bench soon after.

We are united, we know who we are, and we are energized. It is the largest. They all exert pressure in the same direction, top to bottom. We provide the fan with something to aspire to and feel proud of. You must now increase your income.

At the end of the Arsene Wenger period at the Emirates, Arsenal started to fall, and Arteta spoke of the necessity to return to the fundamentals in order to stop the spiraling decline.

It was quite obvious. I illustrated a tree and its roots and stated that the issue was ours," he remarked.

"Everything needed to be resolved, and resolution required people to participate. There wouldn't be any public entertainment without it.

The Blues' financial condition has already improved as a result of this month's agreements to part ways with many first-team players.

Kalidou Koulibaly, Edouard Mendy, and Hakim Ziyech are all ready to leave to Saudi Arabia for a combined total of roughly £40 million. Kai Havertz is close to joining Arsenal for £65 million. Mateo Kovacic is about to sign with Manchester City for up to £30 million.Mason Mount has received three rejections from Chelsea from proposals made by Manchester United. The most recent £55 million offer from the Red Devils was promptly rejected.
