Mikel Arteta has urged supporters not to lose perspective on how far Arsenal have come and insists he is prepared to make “tough decisions” to strengthen his squad this summer.
The Gunners’ 4-1 loss to Manchester City last week extended their winless run to four games following the draws with Liverpool, West Ham and Southampton, allowing Pep Guardiola’s men to seize the initiative in the Premier League title race.
Arteta insists Arsenal will keep fighting until the end of the season as they prepare to welcome Chelsea to the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday, but feels they can be proud of their progress, having already guaranteed Champions League qualification.
