Arsenal head coach Miguel Arteta has clarified the accusations against him by fans. And critics about his habit of exploiting Chelsea players for their own gain, saying the accusations are a bit harsh. But when the players from Stamford Bridge are truly outstanding, who can resist them?

Numbers never lie. In the last six years, the Gunners have signed seven players directly from the Blues: Noni Madueke, Kepa Arrizabalaga, Raheem Sterling, Kai Havertz, Jorginho, Willian and David Luiz.

This has made many people uncomfortable with this approach. When you take the surplus from your competitors. How can you achieve excellence? However, the Spanish coach has a different view on the matter. แทงบอล UFABET ราคาดีที่สุด ไม่มีขั้นต่ำ

“It’s probably because they have a lot of good players and they have a lot of good players.” Arteta said at his pre-season press conference ahead of the AC Milan game (July 23).

“But what we try to focus on is the players the team wants to sign, rather than the club they belong to.”

“Which team will you be on? Sometimes that’s another factor to consider, or maybe it’s not even a consideration. But it depends on how our squad is at that time. Will the quality improve?”

“Well, congratulations to them for winning the FIFA Club World Cup, because I think that’s a great achievement for the team.”

“In particular, Noni, I’m personally excited.”

“You can see the response from other players as well, especially those you know well.”

“That guy needs a little rest right now, but he’ll be joining our team as soon as possible to show us what he has to offer.”   

Time frame from the time of joining the group, Chelsea won the Club World Cup on 13 July , must rest at least 3 weeks, which is the fastest. Noni will be able to play in the friendly Emirates Cup against Athletic Bilbao ( 9 August ) .
