Mikel Arteta sends clear message to £60million Chelsea transfer target

Mikel Arteta has assured one of his out of favour stars that he remains a key part of his plans. The Gunners have made a superb start to their Premier League title defence, winning eight of their nine games so far and put down a significant marker last weekend with first win at Anfield in 14 years. Arteta’s side have made an equally impressive start to their European campaign and extended their unbeaten run following a 2-2 draw at the home of German champions Bayern Munich a fortnight ago.
