The Spanish head coach has dismissed any suggestion that the Gunners should be considered among Europe’s elite clubs.
Mikel Arteta has insisted that Arsenal deserved their invite to the much-debated Super League because of their history and long-held values.
Arsenal were named as one of the 12 founding Super League clubs last Sunday alongside Premier League rivals Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester City and Tottenham, despite the fact they have not competed in the Champions League since 2017.
Amid the intense backlash against the proposed breakaway it was suggested that the Gunners and fellow north London outfit Tottenham had no right to be named alongside Europe’s elite, but Arteta is adamant that they fully merited their inclusion.
Goal.
