Midfielder Bruno Gimaraes has stated that Mikel Arteta is determined to make Arsenal's play even more captivating this season. The team aims to build on last year's championship success.
The Brazilian, who joined the Gunners in the summer, elaborated on the manager's expectations. Arteta is urging the squad to blend physical and defensive strength with attractive football, as demonstrated in their recent victory against Chelsea.
“From the first time I spoke to him, he is very obsessed with these things, always improving... It seems like this season Arsenal is playing better than last season,” said Gimaraes.
Arteta echoed this sentiment after the derby win, describing his side's performance as “exceptional.”
“We are capable of playing at an even higher level than we did last season,” insisted the Gunners' boss.
It's worth noting that the victory over Chelsea was secured by accurate strikes from Kai Havertz and Martin Odegaard.
