Hope on the horizon: Arteta delivers CoVID-19 message

“I feel really good and completely recovered,” Arteta said. “It took me five to seven days to get through the virus and then I passed it onto my missus and another person that lives with us. But we are all fine, we have all got through it and we are absolutely fine.

“I have a lot of people – relatives, families – that are dealing with very complicated situations. From my side, we are all behind them. This is something that we are all living together, it’s a massive challenge. We have to protect each other as much as we can.”

With Arteta recovered, he also delivered some exciting transfer plans for the Gunners.

“I am planning (for) two or three different scenarios that we can face,” Arteta explained. “Depending on (which) one of those three, we will be able to do more, less or nothing. We don’t know, we have to react daily to that.

“We don’t know the financial situation what it’s going to be, we don’t know what the rules (will be), the timing, we don’t know the window. It’s so many things we cannot control at the moment.”
