'It's difficult to follow Wenger' - Cazorla convinced Arteta is the right man for Arsenal despite inconsistent season

Mikel Arteta is "the right man to take Arsenal forward" says Santi Cazorla, with the manager looking to emulate the success of Arsene Wenger backed to "achieve big things".

FA Cup and Community Shield triumphs have been earned by the Gunners under their current coach, but consistency has remained elusive in 2020-21 to leave Europa League glory as the only avenue to more silverware.

Villarreal are being faced in the semi-finals of that competition, with the Spaniards securing a 2-1 first leg lead, and Arteta continues to face questions of whether he is the best choice to deliver long-term success.
