Speaking to Sky Sports, Arteta explained how he would like Wenger to have a bigger presence at Arsenal. He said:
Arteta was also asked if this was an invitation for the Frenchman to join Arsenal in some capacity. He replied:
Arsene Wenger managed Arsenal for 22 years before stepping down in 2018. The Frenchman won three Premier League titles and a record seven FA Cups during his tenure as manager. Wenger is widely regarded as one of the greatest managers of all time.
The Frenchman now works as the Chief of Global Football Development at FIFA. It remains to be seen if Wenger will join Arsenal in some capacity in the future.
Arsenal seem to be on the right path under Mikel Arteta
Following a dismal start to the 2021-22 campaign, Arsenal have bounced back and are now unbeaten in their last ten games across all competitions.
A poor start to the season had many supporters of the club calling for Mikel Arteta to be sacked. However, the Spaniard has managed to steady the ship as the Gunners sit only two points adrift of the top four in fifth.
Arteta will, however, know that his side will need to continue in this vein of form if they are to qualify for Europe. Arsenal will travel to Anfield after the international break to take on a formidable Liverpool side.
If the Gunners manage to win the game, they will move above Liverpool into fourth place and truly announce themselves as serious contenders for a top-four finish.
