Cesc Fabregas has heaped praise on Mikel Arteta for how Arsenal has turned around their fortunes this season.
For several seasons, the Gunners have underachieved and haven’t played in the Champions League since 2017.
Mikel Arteta has been given the time he needs to rebuild the side and his team could end this season as English champions.
It is a remarkable turnaround from a side that couldn’t even make the top four at the end of last season.
The players at the Emirates have been in superb form, but they probably wouldn’t if Arteta wasn’t the boss.
Fabregas said via The Daily Mail:
‘He has done a fantastic job.
‘We saw it in the documentary (Netflix’s All or Nothing) how he pushes players, how he understands players.
‘I was lucky enough to be at the training ground recently. Everything has changed so much, it feels like the manager of the training ground is 95 per cent Mikel who has changed the whole thing.
‘The perception of the club has changed. There are positive messages around the training ground, much bigger facilities, better equipment, the pitches, you name it. ‘
Just Arsenal Opinion
Arteta has been an inspirational leader at the Emirates and it is clear that his players want to do well for him whenever they step on the pitch.
The Spaniard was one of the leading players when he played and learned from one of the best managers on the planet, so we expect him to thrive as a gaffer.

Amazon’s “All or Nothing”, not Netflix.
I see Lampard got the elbow, I was hoping he’d survive until after we play Everton to avoid any possible new manager bounce thing.
Off Topic:
Confirmed on BBC Sport that Arsenal has signed Jakub Kiwior.
I don’t trust their news site, but their sports site is more trustworthy than other sports outlet – so that’s probably the next best thing to confirmation on the Arsenal site itself.
Apparently Kiwior was in the crowd for yesterday’s game – that must’ve been some introduction to the club!
We’ve got Super Mik Arteta,
He knows exactly what we need,
Kieran at the back, Gabi in attack,
Arsenal on the way to Champions League.
Yes always weary of the new manager bounce, and maybe with Big Duncan’s Ferguson in the dugout to whips up the faithfuls.
Last season we lost to Everton at Merseyside when everyone was beating them.
But Everton has a young midfielder that maybe of intrest to us.
But the gaffer was fortunate to learn from not just one but two great managers
Good addition to our squard one more midfilder mike.
