Mikel Arteta has revealed his pride at having restored Arsenal's identity after claiming the club had 'lost its soul' before he returned as manager.
Arteta's side pushed Manchester City to the final few weeks of the 2022-23 Premier League season after leading an unexpected title challenge.
The Gunners fell agonisingly short after a poor run of form in the latter stages of the campaign, but their improvement has seen Arteta receive huge praise.
The Spaniard has been credited with turning around the Gunners fortunes, with the second place finish seeing the club secure a return to the Champions League for the first time in seven years.
