Mikel Arteta £75m double gamble the key to Arsenal major Champions League transformation plan

The dominance in their position is a major reason why the Gunners currently have the advantage in qualifying for the Champions League ahead of next season, which is seen as an overachievement for the north London side.

Both players had their critics at the beginning of the season. However, this has now drastically changed as they are considered Arsenal’s most important players, and the win percentage when both players are on the pitch is proof of that.
