🚨🚨❗❗ Mikel Arteta on his role since his arrival:

👤“One man cannot really change anything, especially when we talk about the size of the issue of this football club.

You need a lot of good people, very committed people around you with the same vision, the same work ethic, the same passion and I'm very lucky because I had throughout that.

At the end, you need a lot of support, starting from upstairs with everybody that makes decisions alongside you, but the most important ones are the players.” 🔋

🚨🚨❗❗Arteta on Gyokeres: “Well, I think the level of attention on him hasn't changed since he signed to today. It's normal. Everybody was so excited to bring a nine into the club. We did it, we brought a player with an incredible goalscoring record that had to adapt to the league.

“He had no preseason, the first few weeks were difficult because physically he wasn't in his best state and he's a player that needs that, like any other player in this league, almost to perform at that level.

“Then he kicked on, I think he had a really good period and got injured. And now it's better. I saw a lot of positive things in the last two games that he's done, we need to continue to tweak and understand him a little bit better in certain situations and he needs to do the same, but that's about time. We have full support for him.

“At the end, you have to experience it (scrutiny). You can imagine the global impact that you're going to have to deal with when you come to a big club and the expectations are as it is, but after you have to live it and living it is always slightly different to your imagination.

“However, he's doing it with a With a lot of desire. I think his energy level, his commitment, it's absolutely top. We are here to help him because we've all been here, we all need time, there is always moments, and the strikers have moments.

“They score more goals, less goals, and we need to be there for him.

“I think so, yes (we’re going to see another level from Gyokeres in the second half of the season.”

🚨🚨❗❗Arteta asked if he has a match in mind for Havertz return:

👤“I do. I don't want to say it because, again, I think in that last part, especially after such a long time, that after the rehab I think we need to be cautious and we need to go really firm with every step that we take along the way to make sure that when he's back, he's back and he's back for the long term.”

🚨🚨❗❗Arteta on team selection:

👤“So far in December, my headaches have come with having no options in the front line and no options in the back line. That's a headache. I haven't had headaches the other way around. I hope when I do it won't be headaches. It will be difficult decisions, but they're going to make the team better.

“The headaches are when you have to make decisions that you know you're making the team weaker or you cannot make decisions because you're going to expose other players or players that, if you give them too much game time, probably they're going to get injured as well so that's a headache.”

🚨🚨❗❗Arteta was asked by , how Arsenal have spent the rare clear week in training leading up to Everton:

👤 “Well, sometimes it's the level of energy and consistent energy that you need throughout a game to sustain when you have played with so many minutes in their legs.

“The things that are small, like we talked about those defensive habits or connections that you don't build because you don't have to do that and this way we have time to work on them and hopefully we're going to see an improvement on Saturday.”

🚨🚨❗❗Arteta on conceding the first goal in the last 3 Premier League away trips:

👤“It's about consistency. I think we've lost one game in 21 away from home. So that tells you in this league, the difficulty of that.

“But if you want to continue to that, you have to hit almost perfection in a lot of things that you do. We've lost two games in the last kick of the game, two possibilities to win the games as well, but that's what we have to learn and do better.”

🚨🚨❗❗ Arteta provides an injury update ahead of Everton:

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Ben White: “Yeah, he's out. He's evolving well. It’s not a major injury, but it will keep him out for a few games, I don't think it's going to be [major injury] and Ben is a really fast healer as well. There's hope that we're going to have him in the next few games.”

🇧🇷 Gabriel Magalhães: “He's pushing hard (asked if he’s aiming for Villa on 30th), as he always does every time he's out. And he's evolving really well. He's doing pitch sessions. It's not too far we have to see in the last stages of that rehab how he but we are quite positive about it.”

🇪🇸 Martin Zubimendi: “Yeah, that was a lot of management for a few players that played a lot of minutes recently, so that's probably the reason why.”

🇩🇪 Kai Havertz: “Progressing really well and quite fast in last few weeks. We're really positive that if he continues like that, he could be with us soon.”

🚨🚨❗❗Arteta on Merino being an option to start at striker:

👤“Yeah, yeah, he’s certainly an option. I think he's giving us every reason as well to consider him in a really serious way. You look at the goals that he scored and the importance of those goals. I think he needs to be right up there.

Arteta if Merino is a more ‘natural fit’ to Arsenal’s style: “I don't know if this is the word, but he's a player that has done a job with his qualities and in the games that we demanded his qualities.

“Viktor [Gyokeres] brings many other different ones and it's great that we can have those. And now Gabi [Jesus] as well, which he came in the last two games and made an impact in the game.”

🚨🚨❗❗Arteta asked what he wants for Christmas:

👤“Win, win, win, win, win. All the games that we won. No, no, that's it. After the rest will come, actually, but my mood, my energy is going to be much better, so that's what I want.”
