Arteta Eager To See Fans Return To Stadiums

Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta is desperate for fans to return to the various stadiums.

UEFA has given the green light for fans to return to stadiums for next week’s international games as well as the upcoming Champions League and Europa League matches and Arteta is happy the bond between club and supporters has been restored despite admitting it is frustrating because of the continued coronavirus restrictions.

"Well I am glad to hear they are excited and hopefully they are proud of how the players and the club are trying to present the team every time we play," the Spanish coach said ahead of Arsenal’s game against Sheffield United at the Emirates Stadium.

"There is still a long way to go in my opinion, but we are on the right path and it is good that synergy between players, club and fans is back on track.

"Every time I get messages I get the feeling they are very much on board, they are desperate to come back to the Emirates and the players are as well, they are desperate to have our fans back and feel their support and connection again.

"That connection is vital for our success and hopefully we can have them back in the stadium again soon."

Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder guided the Blades to an impressive ninth-place finish in the Premier League last season and Arteta has commended his counterpart’s work at the Bramall Lane.

"Incredible," Arteta said of Wilder's achievements.

"I start to analyse his team two years [ago] to understand some of the things he was doing and I think him and the coaching staff have done a really, really good job.

"Not just for the way they play because it is a very clear style, but for the culture they created around the club and this feeling that you can sense around the team and how they compete. I think it is remarkable what they have done."
