Behind the Scenes: What Football Agents Are Saying About Arsenal and Mikel Arteta

Arsenal are aiming to finally put an end to their long wait for the Premier League title this season, having narrowly missed out over the past two years.

The club are now vastly different from the state it was in when Mikel Arteta took charge back in 2019.

At that time, Arsenal found themselves stuck in mid-table, with even a top-four finish appearing to be out of reach.

Arteta initiated a significant rebuilding process at the club, displaying a level of decisiveness that went underappreciated and was even ridiculed at the time.

In retrospect, this was an absolutely crucial step, as it has brought Arsenal to where they are today—competing for the Premier League title.

The current squad is filled with world-class players who possess both the talent and the right mentality, with the issue of expiring contracts no longer being a recurring problem.

Recently, the Evening Standard published a detailed article titled “Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal evolution: the next phase,” which explores how the Gunners aim to dethrone Manchester City.

One section of the article focuses on Arsenal’s recruitment strategy and highlights what agents have been saying about their clients potentially making a move to the Emirates.

New Arsenal Signings ‘Stunned’ by Mikel Arteta

It’s excellent news for Arsenal and their supporters, as there seems to be a general agreement among agents that the Gunners now possess unmatched appeal.

Arteta thoroughly researches potential players, making it almost certain that any new signing will be swayed after a conversation with the manager.

“Arsenal’s pulling power is incomparable to where it was when Arteta took charge,’ said the report.

“New signings have been seduced by the level of detail in Arteta’s pitch and stunned at the depths he has gone to understand their careers.

“Among agents, there is an increasing belief that once Arteta gets players in the room, they do not want to play for anyone else.”

The transfer market functions on multiple levels, and for a club to recruit and retain the best players, it must be performing at the highest tier.

A club not only need to compete for top honours and provide attractive salaries, but also maintain a competitive yet harmonious atmosphere in the dressing room.

Additionally, the coaching staff must be top-notch, experienced in ensuring that players are well-managed, receive ample playing time, and have access to all the resources necessary for growth and development.

According to agents, Arsenal seem to have perfected all of these aspects now.
