Mikel Arteta says he ‘doesn’t know’ and his future at Arsenal doesn’t ’depend on him’ with his contract set to run out in 18 months:

“Yes [can see himself extending], but it's about today, and a lot of things have to happen in the next few months as well, to earn the right. I think a manager has to earn the right to be here tomorrow, and that's how you react, how you talk here, how you go in the direction of the message that you send, how much the players follow you.

“I always say that you need support; I've said it before. From ownership and the board is great. At the end, the most important one is those players. You open that door, you confront them, you talk to them, and they are like this or they are like this.

“For six years, I've seen just players with a level of attention, desire to learn, and give the maximum to the team. That is what keeps me in this job, nothing else and obviously, winning a lot of football matches, percentage-wise, I think it's quite high. So that's the only way; if not, you cannot survive in this environment.

Arteta asked about conversations with players as Saka and Rice and renewing their deals about his own future:

“Yeah, they do ask me, but I cannot lie to them, I don't know. It's something that doesn't depend on me.

“Yes, 100 percent [I am happy here], yes. But again, it doesn't depend only on me. And they have to make a decision that is based as well on what they feel about it. And again, that's another sign when you sit with a player and he's talking to you in those terms and they really want to stay.

“They don't want to even listen to another option. That's a good sign because that means that the club looks after them in the right way and they believe that this is the right club for them to achieve the goals that they want in their life.”

Arteta to Hayters on whether Marli Salmon is ready to step up: ‘Yes, and he can play as a centre-back or as a full-back. He did it in the Champions League, and I always tell the boys you are here for a reason and be ready. You have to be ready for it.’

Mikel Arteta on ‘selection headaches’ on which players to pick: “So far, we are in December & my headaches have come with having no options in the frontline & no options in the backline. I haven’t had headaches the other way around!”

“I hope that I do — it won’t be headaches, it will be difficult decisions, but they’re going to make the team better.”

“The headaches are when you cannot make decisions because you’re going to expose other players that, if you give them too much game time, they’re probably going to get injured.”

Kai Havertz is targeting the remaining December fixtures as a possible return. The German international’s reintegration will be managed carefully but he is pushing hard to make an appearance before the year closes out. Cautious optimism but one to watch.

@AFCAMDEN

@TomCantonMedia asked Arteta how Arsenal have spent the rare clear week in training leading up to Everton: “Well, sometimes it's the level of energy and consistent energy that you need throughout a game to sustain when you have played with so many minutes in their legs.

“The things that are small, like we talked about those defensive habits or connections that you don't build because you don't have to do that and this way we have time to work on them and hopefully we're going to see an improvement on Saturday.”

Arteta asked if he has a match in mind for Havertz return: “I do. I don't want to say it because, again, I think in that last part, especially after such a long time, that after the rehab I think we need to be cautious and we need to go really firm with every step that we take along the way to make sure that when he's back, he's back and he's back for the long term.”

Arteta on his Arsenal anniversary: “It’s going fast. A lot happened, but today has been an incredible journey and I enjoyed every minute of it.”

Arteta on Ben White: "It is not a major injury but it will keep him out for a few games."

On Gabriel: "He is pushing hard, evolving really well and doing pitch sessions. He is not too far [away]."

On Zubimendi not training earlier this week: "That was load management." #AFC

Arteta on Kai Havertz: "He is progressing really well and quite fast in the last few weeks. We are really positive, if everything continues like that, that he is going to be with us soon." #AFC

Arsenal forward Kai Havertz is set to be sidelined until early to mid-January following the setback he suffered last month in his rehab from minor knee surgery.

In November he was one week away from returning to the squad before the setback. #afc

I feel that I have unfinished business at Arsenal. I don’t want to leave.

We can wake up the sleeping giant.

With this manager and this squad, we can do it. I trust my football. I trust God’s plan. And I know that if I get a chance, I can help the team with the league

Arsenal are concerned about midfield, leading to sources in the industry to think that could be seen as an area the club try to improve in January. One name at the top of their list for the moment is Ayyoub Bouaddi. [@caughtoffside]

Arsenal are big fans of Jeremy Jacquet, while Marc Guehi could be an option who comes into consideration. Ousmane Diomande is another name Arsenal have been monitoring, while the club also appreciate left-back Nathaniel Brown as a versatile option. [@caughtoffside]

Odpalił się przeciw zarządowi jakby, choć nikt do końca nie wie o co mu chodziło, ale to po meczu z Evertonem, a przed meczem w CC już nie chciał odpowiadać na pytania na ten temat, ale nawet chłopaki w top4podcast mówili że może się to dla niego źle skończyć;)

Już wiadomo czemu Maresca dymy robi w Chelsea xD

Arsenal will face Chelsea away for the first leg of the Semi Final of the Carabao Cup if they beat Crystal Palace.

First leg to be played week commencing January 12th.

Per Mertesacker explains how Mikel Arteta helped influence Arsene Wenger's decision to appoint him as academy manager:

"When Mikel left the club - I think Arsene actually wanted to keep him but he made a promise to Pep - Mikel said to Arsene, 'I think there's another one there, who thinks similarly to myself.'

"That was a year before my playing contract ended, so he started that conversation a year [earlier], together with Ivan Gazidis and he asked me if I wanted to stay…

"I said yes and three weeks later he offered me the academy manager's job."

Three of Arsenal's upcoming fixtures have been rescheduled:

Thursday, February 12
Brentford (A) | 8pm

Sunday, February 22
Tottenham Hotspur (A) | 4.30pm

Sunday, March 1
Chelsea (H) | 4.30pm

Arsenal confident of agreeing terms over a new contract for Jurrien Timber.

Sporting director Andrea Berta pushing ahead with tying down the club’s key players.

Unlike last season, Arsenal have their two Premier League loan slots clear - @Football_LDN

The challenge facing Andrea Berta is finding the requisite talent despite the green light to secure some injury-response moves.

Declan Rice has come 2nd in the 2025 FIFA Puskás Award, courtesy of his incredible free-kick goal against Real Madrid in the Champions League.

Mikel Arteta finished 4th in the FIFA Best awards for Best Men's Coach award.

Luis Enrique, Hansi Flick and Arne Slot were the top three.

Enzo Maresca (5th), Roberto Martinez (6th) and Javier Aguirre (7th) completed the ranking.

Co tak w ogóle sądzicie o wymianie kiwiora na hincapie? Nasz nowy nabytek na pewno jest bardziej agresywny i może ciut lepszy fizycznie. Natomiast Kuba mam wrażenie, że lepiej czytał grę. Umiejętności czysto piłkarskie zdecydowanie po stronie Polaka."
Ciężko póki co porównywać, bo próbka za mała, ale Hincapie chyba jednak wyżej ma sufit. No a statystyki z ligii portugalskiej, to wiemy że są tak średnio miarodajne,;)

Ooo FA cup w TVP

The boss will be back in front of the media Friday morning ahead of Arsenal’s Premier League away trip to Everton.

Updates on Gabriel, White and Havertz expected. Catch it all on @HaytersTV on YouTube.

Salmon speaking after the pre-season tour:

“I’ve played at every level from under-16s up to the first team and, funnily enough, I’ve found it gets easier the higher you go.

“The quality around you naturally lifts your game, although the pace is much quicker and you have to adapt fast. I made big strides over the summer, but I know there’s a lot more to come.”


Crystal Palace Carabo Cup game feels an obvious moment where Salmon may have to be used.

Three days after Everton away. Saliba and Timber the only right-sided defenders.

Norgaard could come in at centre-back. Perhaps Salmon could do closing stages at right-back?

Ben White and Cristhian Mosquera are both out injured, which could open the door for Marli Salmon over the next few weeks.

The defender is only 16, but Arsenal have high hopes for him and he has been likened to William Saliba.

Martin Zubimendi was not in Arsenal open training this morning, but it's said he was doing work elsewhere. Not the first time his training load has been managed this season.

Still no Havertz or Gabriel. Today is Arsenal's first day back training post-Wolves after two days off.

Kai Havertz is targeting the remaining December fixtures as a possible return. The German international’s reintegration will be managed carefully but he is pushing hard to make an appearance before the year closes out. Cautious optimism but one to watch.

Tu nic nie widziałem nowego. @ksowa90 napisał: "serio?"
Takie info dał AFCAMDEN, często ma sprawdzone info, czy tak jest tym razem nie wiem, ale może coś jest na rzeczy.

@fabregas1987 napisał: "a Gabriel M wraca jeszcze w grudniu?"
Ponoć tak, celował na Everton, ale klub nie chce się spieszyć.

Everyone could see the anger of Arsenal's players at full-time on Saturday, despite victory. Senior figures including Odegaard & Rice expressed their frustrations in the dressing room, too. Collective agreement that #AFC fell way short of usual standards.

Wuja, ale ja też pisałem że był to słaby mecz xD po prostu wbiłem sobie szpileczke do tego komentarza o Bayernie. Żadnego fikołka nie robiłem;) co się tak wuja zirytowałeś, po co mieszasz w to innych;) @alexis1908 napisał: "Ale bądźmy poważni Bayern nawet jak jakiegoś meczu nie wygra to i tak są mistrzem w tej lidze nie ma dla nich rywala ile mają 9 pkt przewagi o bramkach to już nawet nie ma co mówić"
Panie , przeczytaj jeszcze raz moje komentarze sprzed chwili, i zrozumiesz dlaczego o tym Bayernie napisałem:) no ale tak czy inaczej w tak słabej lidze, bez konkurencji to nadal wstyd zremisować z ostatnią drużyną, pech? No może, ale to Bayern odrabiał jednak straty do końca;) @Dziadyga napisał: "Ja nic nie pisałem wcześniej."
Tym bardziej nie rozumiem co się tak odpaliłeś, jakby to był Twój komentarz;) więcej luzu wuja ;)

Nawet nie ma co przyrównywać ich do naszej wczorajszej gry."
Statystyki grają,czy liczy się to co w sieci? Bo kojarzę że ty to drugie uznajesz,gdy ktoś Ci podaje xG Arsenalu przeciwko komuś, a teraz to pech Bayernu? xD zdecyduj się;) bo widzisz wuja, jak Ci się pisze, że w piłce różne scenariusze i wyniki mogą być, to nie akceptujesz, ale na przykładzie Bayernu robisz fikołka od swoich poglądów xD
