Arteta has been told by Ian Wright what to do with Ljunberg.
He said: ‘Absolutely [he should be kept on]. We have to protect Freddie at all costs. He wasn’t there trying to suck up to get the job. He knows the club. You cant buy him.
‘He took the pressure off, he took everything that came with the pressure of managing Arsenal and his legacy which was on the line if he carried on the way it was going on. ‘But he still was his own man.
He came out and called them out saying something has to be done and you can’t leave me hanging like this. ‘Nobody knows the young players better than Freddie. I’m sure Mikel will come in and be delighted Freddie is still there.
‘What you want is that kind of continuity, especially for the young guys. You can see how much they loved him when things were going right. ‘We need that guy in there. He’s an invincible as well. He’s one of our greats. We have to back Freddie at all costs.’
