Arsenal can still be EPL champions - Arteta keeps fans hope alive
Mikel Arteta believes there is life at the end of tunnel despite the almost impossible task from snatching the Premier League from Manchester City this season.
“Now, they have a very good team, a very young team that can play for many years together at Arsenal. Therefore, around them, they need to make sure they bring in some other talents and they don’t lose many players.
“I think in the past when I was there, Arsenal suffered a lot during their process of transition when we moved to the Emirates because a lot of the best players were sold. A lot of the Invincibles left the club and some of the younger players who stepped up also left the club.
“The likes of [Cesc] Fabregas, [Robin] van Persie, [Alexander] Hleb, [Samir] Nasri, they all left the club and it made the lives of Arsene [Wenger] and the people at the club so difficult. But I am sure they have learnt from this time because keeping players is going to be very important for the future of the club.”

Arsenal Manager Mikel Arteta has spoken regarding the contract extension of their star players and has said the club is working on their new deal.
Speaking ahead of the game against Nottingham Forest this weekend, Arteta said, "We are trying. We are having conversations and we are trying to maintain the talent we have at the club as I said before.
