Mikel Arteta says Arsenal are “still far” from where he wants to be despite enjoying the best spell of his two year reign at the club.
Gunners boss Arteta faces Liverpool on the back of five straight Premier League wins and the chance to get into the top four this season. But Arteta warned they are a long way from being the finished article even though he is proud of the way the players have adapted to a culture change at the Emirates.
When asked how far away from reaching his targets when he took over in December 2019, Arteta offered a realistic assessment. He said: "Still far. I think we are much closer than we were, and probably the closest that we have been in terms of what we are looking for. But I focus on that gap. And that gap is still big. We have to make things quicker, sharper.
