'Progress has been quicker than expected' - Arteta pleased with Arsenal growth despite lack of wins

Despite just three wins in nine since his arrival, the manager is pleased with what he's seen from the Gunners

Mikel Arteta said Arsenal's progress since he took charge has been quicker than he expected, even if the Gunners haven't won as many games as the former midfielder would have hoped.

Arsenal have shown signs of improvement since Arteta took over as head coach in December, replacing Unai Emery halfway through his fellow Spaniard's second season in charge at the Emirates.

In the weeks since Arteta took over, Arsenal have responded by losing just one of nine games, although only three have been wins.
