Mikel Arteta has attempted to improve the culture at Arsenal and create a level of accountability within the group. Players have left the club over the course of his tenure to an extent where only three players that didn’t graduate from the Hale End academy and were signed prior to the Spaniard’s arrival played in the 2-1 Brentford win.
Arteta has seen players such as Mesut Ozil, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and more leave Arsenal, not due to their lack of quality, but because they failed to meet his expectations at the club.
Matteo Guendouzi seemingly also fell into this category but is making the Gunners manager look regretfully at what could have been with his performances for Marseille this season.
