Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is not worried stars could leave to join the riches at Newcastle, as Amanda Staveley's Saudi-backed consortium target January recruits

Mikel Arteta insists he does not fear another Arsenal exodus as a result of Newcastle's new-found wealth.

The two clubs go head-to-head in the Premier League on Saturday with the Magpies now under the ownership of Amanda Staveley's Saudi-backed consortium, which has ambitious plans for the future.

However, Arteta is confident there will be no repeat of the raids Manchester City made on the club after a huge injection of cash from Abu Dhabi earlier this century which saw Emmanuel Adebayor, Kolo Toure, Gael Clichy and Samir Nasri all swap north London for the blue half of Manchester in exchange for a total of £72million.
