“Given all the challenges we’ve faced this season, it’s positive to be in the position we’re in,” said Mikel Arteta.

Looking ahead to the title race, Mikel Arteta emphasized Arsenal’s commitment to their objectives despite the season’s challenges.

“Given everything we’ve dealt with this season—the times we played with 10 men and the injuries we’ve faced—it’s positive to be in our current position, but it’s not where we want to be. We aim to be first,” Arteta remarked.

Reflecting on Arsenal’s recent performance, Arteta noted, “We were extremely dominant in the first half but faced difficulties in the second.”

Regarding potential activity in the January transfer window, he added, “We will see.”
