Arsenal had a bad start in the Premier League this season, having experienced three consecutive defeats in the first three rounds, which was taken as a joke, and some people mocked Arsenal as a generation of Premier League powerhouses who fell into the relegation zone. But the relegation comments were premature, and arteta's team was disgraced and brave, allowing Arsenal to temporarily rise to sixth place in the table so far, with the opportunity to compete for a European qualification to make up for the regret of missing a European game this season. Manager Arteta has been instrumental in still having a chance to compete for the top four, especially by successfully cutting Arsenal's salary expenses by at least half, while dealing with the problems within the team and most importantly, the rising results. According to British media reports, Arsenal have issued a three-year new contract to the 39-year-old young manager, and the annual salary will be increased to 8.3 million pounds, which is comparable to the meritorious manager Wenger, which is an affirmation for Arteta.
In 2019, Arsenal announced the dismissal of former manager Emery and invited Arteta to be the team's manager. Although he successfully led the team to win the FA Cup after six months in office, becoming the first arsenal manager in nearly 35 years to have a championship in his first season in charge, in fact, arsenal have many problems in the team, which have been resolved by Arteta. When Arteta first took office, Arsenal had many high-paid and low-energy players, Luis, Kolasinac, Bellerin, Willian and so on, with a salary of more than 100 million pounds a year, but with Arteta's "slimming" campaign, these players have left, even the captain Aubameyang has gone, and Arsenal's annual salary has now been reduced to about 80 million pounds.
The reuse of young players in the last two seasons, and the results are very remarkable, is the biggest feature of Arteta. Arsenal is the youngest team in the Premier League on average this season, with an average age of 24.2. Saka, Smifer Rovey, Tierney and many others are all young players with a stable performance and a bright future. Arteta took the step by step towards the benefactor Wenger, thinking that this was how Wenger built the Arsenal Dynasty. It is worth mentioning that Wenger's annual salary in the last year of coaching Arsenal is exactly 8.3 million pounds, and Arteta will be on par with the mentor if he signs a contract. However, there is still a distance from the annual salary of the Premier League rival, Manchester City manager Guardiola receives an annual salary of 20 million pounds, Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool managers Conte and Klopp are all high-paying managers with an annual salary of 15 million.
On the other side, after former captain Pierre-Aubameyang left for Barcelona, another striker, Lacazette, became the interim captain. But the Frenchman will soon be full of Arsenal and believes that he will not renew his contract, so Arteta is bound to find another captain. According to British media reports, Arteta has identified a candidate, that is, the Norwegian prodigy Edgard. The 23-year-old Old Erdegaard joined Arsenal from Real Madrid last year and immediately became the core of the team's midfield. Erdegaard himself is also the captain of the Norwegian national team, so Arteta is very optimistic about Erdegaard becoming Arsenal's new captain. 'Erdegaard definitely has the qualities that a captain should have, I have talked to the Norwegian manager, he has a very good evaluation of Erdegaard, both on and off the field is very popular, loved by everyone, Erdegaard is very friendly and humble, always lead by example to infect teammates, such conditions can definitely become the leader of the team." Arteta said this when he talked about Erdegaard.
