Arsenal legend: Pep Guardiola and Mikel Arteta are both influenced by Arsene Wenger

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta and Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola look on during the Premier League match between Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur at Etihad Stadium on August 17, 2019 in Manchester, United Kingdom.

Legendary Arsenal vice-chairman David Dein has told FourFourTwo that he believes both Pep Guardiola and Mikel Arteta are influenced by former Gunners boss Arsene Wenger.

Dein was integral in bringing Wenger to Highbury in 1996, revolutionising English football as a whole when the Frenchman implemented possession football in north London.
