The Spanish coach is looking to make a quick impact as he takes over at the Emirates

New Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta says that it is a "huge honour" to take over at his former club, adding that the board has made it "very clear" that he is to compete for trophies now that he's in charge.

Arteta was appointed Arsenal boss on Friday following a week full of speculation and reports that he would take over as manager at the Emirates.

The former midfielder, who played for Arsenal from 2011-16, will now step in to replace Freddie Ljungberg, who has taken charge of the team following Unai Emery's dismissal.
