Arsene Wenger heaps praise on Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta after Gunners pick up yet another win against Leicester
ARSENAL legend Arsene Wenger believes manager Mikel Arteta has recaptured the club’s spirit.
Arteta oversaw the Gunners’ 2-0 victory over Leicester on Sunday, a result which keeps them in fourth place in the Premier League table with three games in hand.
The north Londoners endured their worst ever Prem start this season but turned things around and are now in pole position to finish in the top four and return to the Champions League.
Wenger is very impressed with his former player’s work in the dugout and feels like the club is slowly going back to its roots.
However, the legendary manager warned the Spanish head coach he still has a lot of work to do.
Wenger told beIN Sports when asked whether Arteta has recaptured Arsenal’s spirit: “It looks like it, yes, I think so, yes.
“We still have some way to go because we were dominating in England for some time.
“All the ingredients are there, the club has invested a lot of money for the first time since we have built the stadium.
“The team is stable now with their results, his leadership looks to be accepted by the players and there is a connection between him and the team.
“So overall, what you see from outside is positive.”
