Explaining why Mikel Arteta won’t be on the touchline for Arsenal’s final game of the Premier League season against Southampton.

Mikel Arteta has vowed that work on Arsenal’s summer rebuild starts immediately after confirming the departures of four players from his squad. The Gunners ended their campaign with a 2-1 win at Southampton that cemented their position as runners up in the Premier League for a third year in a row.

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has said he has "goosebumps" thinking ahead to the start of next season and believes his team is only missing a "little percentage" in their quest for major honours.
