Wife:
Mikel Arteta’s wife Lorena Bernal believes the Arsenal boss speaks to Edu more than anyone else.
The Gunners manager made the quip when previewing his side’s clash against Wolves on Tuesday. Of course, Arteta was speaking on transfer deadline day, taking place on Monday February 1.
Press Conference:
There have been many areas [of focus], that is one of them obviously. The players we have available here to work because of internationals is very limited but it is certainly something we can do better and improve in our efficiency in front of goal, and when we get that balance right it will obviously help us to win more game.
Well, he has already a couple of experiences [as a manager] and he knows the league really well. You can see the touch that he is trying to put in the team and the things he is trying to implement there.
Rangers:

2002–2004 | Rangers | 50 |

Arteta spent last season on loan at Paris Saint Germain and his move to Scotland was greeted with fury by the Parc des Princes outfit.
But when the 20-year-old decided it was time to leave Camp Nou permanently, it was Rangers, who he played against in the Uefa Cup last season, who were his preferred choice.
Sack:
Arsenal have no intention of sacking Mikel Arteta, regardless of how they fare in Sunday’s north London derby vs Tottenham.
After losing their first three Premier League games of the season, pressure was mounting on the Spaniard – although he has alleviated that with three victories in all competitions.
