Creating an us against the world mentality: How Arteta got Arsenal back on track


Mikel Arteta has committed his future to Arsenal after signing a lucrative new contract extension and he will now be desperate to win the Premier League.

The club confirmed their head coach had signed a deal that will tie him down at the Emirates until the end of the 2026-27 season after opening formal talks.

As reported by Mail Sport, he has earned a sharp increase on his £9million-a-year package in a move that underlines the hierarchy's total faith in his project.

Since being appointed in 2019, Arteta has been credited with transforming the club.

Here, ISAAN KHAN takes a look at exactly how he has got them back on track...

Rooting out bad eggs

Mikel Arteta firmly stamped his mark on the club in a number of areas almost as soon as he had come through the door at the Emirates Stadium back in 2019.

His immediate priority after arriving was to sift out the 'bad eggs', in line with the New Zealand All Blacks' 'No d***heads' policy.

That saw Arteta work with sporting director Edu to jettison the likes of Mesut Ozil and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang by terminating their contracts - bold moves that have worked out well.

In line with this has been ensuring any incoming players have a character that mirrors the Arsenal ethos. Transfer targets are all extensively vetted to get a feel of the person behind the player.

No longer a soft touch

The manager has worked hard to dispel the perception among opposition teams that Arsenal are a soft touch.

The likes of Ben White and Gabriel form the nucleus of a harder shell. That could be seen in White booting the ball into Aston Villa's John McGinn last month as retribution, as well as the defender being a nuisance at corner-kicks.

That attitude and fight comes from Arteta and others around the club.

As seen by his passionate cry in Amazon's All or Nothing documentary series on Arsenal after their defeat by Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup in January 2022, Arteta is not afraid to stamp his authority.

'I don't accept these f****** standards,' he bellowed. 'It's nowhere near. Nowhere near! When I lose a duel, I am upset. When I lose the small-sided games, I am upset. Because that is the f****** standard.'
