Mikel Arteta steadfastly batted away questions regarding the Premier League’s investigation into Manchester City.
The Arsenal boss spent four years as Pep Guardiola’s assistant at the Etihad, making up a portion of the time City are alleged to have breached the league’s financial rules. Earlier this week, the reigning champions were charged with more than 100 alleged breaches between 2009 and 2018.
City have strongly denied the charges and claimed they welcome the investigation to put the alleged discrepancies to rest once and for all. A long and arduous legal battle is now expected before any punishments and sanctions - which range from fines, to points deductions and expulsions - are handed out.
