Mikel Arteta takes a swipe at Manchester City

As the Premier League title race enters its final sprint, the tension is ramping up among the contenders. League leaders Arsenal are keeping a close eye on their main rival, Manchester City, who have been highly active in the winter transfer market, as highlighted by the Daily Mirror.

Asked about the Sky Blues’ strategy, Mikel Arteta made no secret of his clear-eyed view of the resources deployed by the reigning champions. “They will do whatever it takes to win,” the Spanish manager stated, pointing to the massive investments made by Pep Guardiola’s club.

Without getting drawn into a bidding war, Arteta nevertheless emphasized that Arsenal would stay true to their principles, while underlining that the sporting rivalry does nothing to diminish the mutual respect he shares with Guardiola.
