Arsenal coach, Mikel Arteta has said that he would like the possible return of legendary Arsenal boss, Arsene Wenger, to the Emirates.

Arsene Wenger spent a total of 22 years at the north London club, in which time the Gunners won three Premier League titles, seven FA Cups and seven Community Shields.

Since the Frenchmanโ€™s departure in 2018 however, Arsenal have only managed to win a single FA Cup and Community Shield, with Arteta and his predecessors Freddie Ljungberg and Unai Emery struggling to mirror the success of Wengerโ€™s tenure.

Arteta, whoโ€™s side are currently on a 10-match unbeaten streak in all competitions, has said he would welcome the return of Wenger to the club at any time.

He said, “I think he set a different tone at the club and I would like to recover a lot of things that he did.

“I would like him to be more present at the club. I think the players will love him, they will benefit, they will be inspired to have him around. I think for the club it would be a huge boost.

“I always told him [heโ€™s welcome]. Sometimes you need your time. It was so intense for him for over 20 years and you need to get a little bit away. I think it would be so beneficial for all parties to have him more present.”
