Mikel Arteta: “I’m very excited. We already have some dreams about the competition again with the Community Shield. It’s a new season, new expectations,”.
“We have the opportunity to do something we haven't done before at this football club, to win it back to back and that is the ambition. It’s not personal, it’s the collective ambition that we have and the ambition of the club.
“It's a beautiful challenge. When you know how to do it and to replicate it, the challenge will be different. The things we will face along the journey will be different. I feel very confident we are going to give ourselves a big chance to be there again.”
Arteta on the transfers: “When we show ambition at the club it has to come from the very top and I think the ownership has been very supportive with everything we are doing at the club,”
“The motivation is always there to be better. If we can identify the talent to make us better then we have to do it but we have to focus on what we have in house to make sure they evolve, grow and be better.
“You can see how crazy and unpredictable the league is. It's better not to talk too much, be prepared, be open and hopefully we can wrap up the transfer window in a really positive way.”
