“Arsenal is one of the biggest clubs in the world. We need to be competing for the top trophies in the game and that’s been made very clear to me in my discussions with Stan and Josh Kroenke, and the senior people from the club.

“We all know there is a lot of work to be done to achieve that but I am confident we’ll do it.

“I’m realistic enough to know it won’t happen overnight but the current squad has plenty of talent and there is a greatvpipeline of young players coming through from the academy.”

Arsenal’s board identified Arteta as their first-choice to replace Unai Emery, who was sacked at the end of November following a poor start to the season, mounting fan unrest and the belief that he had lost the confidence of the players in the dressing room.
