Arteta, who previously served as Guardiola’s assistant at the Etihad Stadium, has turned to his former club this summer as he looks to strengthen the Gunners’ squad ahead of a 2022/23 campaign that will see his side return to European football via the group stages of the Europa League.

Already, Arsenal have spent £45million on signing Brazilian forward Gabriel Jesus from the Sky Blues, with the 56-time international in line to be Arteta’s primary striker ahead of the upcoming campaign.
