Former Arsenal defender Martin Keown has underlined the seismic shift in mentality his former club would experience if Mikel Arteta guides them to Champions League qualification.
The Invincible was speaking on BT Sport after the Gunners’ 1-0 win away at Aston Villa courtesy of Bukayo Saka’s half-hour strike. Arsenal are four points clear of fifth-place Manchester United with a game in hand over their fourth-spot challengers.
Arsenal are now on the brink of Champions League football, which they haven’t experienced since the 2016/17 season. However, Keown is not getting ahead of himself, albeit explained what a top four finish would mean for his former employers.
