Mikel Arteta admits he was ‘shocked’ by the state of Arsenal after Unai Emery’s departure

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta admits he’s still working to heal the wounds exposed at the club from Unai Emery’s era.

The Spaniard replaced Emery as Gunners boss ten months ago after the former Sevilla manager was sacked following a dismal start to the season.

Arteta has made a solid start at the Emirates, winning the FA Cup at the end of his first season at the club. However, perhaps his most vital work has been in restoring faith among supporters, who turned against Emery.

Arteta inherited a toxic atmosphere at the club, with the likes of Granit Xhaka and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang considering their futures at the club. (Metro)
