Mikel Arteta believes Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard are full of confidence again and ready to spark Arsenal’s attack into life. The pair have endured difficult seasons, but both have begun to find form over the past 10 days.

Arteta explained: “They’ve all been there, we have very short numbers for many weeks, they recognise the situation. Sometimes I consult the players on signings, especially if they know them. It’s away from the computer and the data, they can sense it, they know about them.”

Mikel Arteta has dismissed the idea of sending Raheem Sterling back to Chelsea in order to sign another Premier League player on loan. The Gunners are desperately short of attacking options following the serious injuries sustained by Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus.
