A former Gunners defender has expressed his excitement in the wake of the Spaniard's return to Emirates Stadium in a coaching capacity
Mikel Arteta is the "right appointment" for Arsenal, according to Martin Keown, who thinks the ex-Manchester City assistant will have the wisdom of Pep Guardiola "at his fingertips" after three years at Etihad Stadium.
Arteta was named as Unai Emery's permanent successor in the Arsenal hot seat on Friday afternoon, bringing to an end his trophy-laden spell as a number two with the Premier League champions.
The 37-year-old, who played for the Gunners between 2011 and 2016, has signed a three-year contract at Emirates Stadium, and will now set about reviving the club's 2019-20 campaign.
