The former Gunners star says the Spaniard is not looking to run before he can walk, with long-term vision now being favoured in north London
Mikel Arteta’s early efforts at Arsenal have earned him a B+ grade from Paul Merson, with the Spaniard able to avoid being labelled a “one-hit wonder” as long-term vision is favoured.
The former Gunners captain was brought back to Emirates Stadium in December as successor to fellow countryman Unai Emery.
He is considered to have offered signs of encouragement, with Arsenal proving hard to beat despite still struggling for consistency when it comes to collecting much-needed victories.
