Arsenal fans are excited to see what Mikel Arteta can do at the club, as he closes in the vacant managerial position.
Talks are believed to be well underway between both parties and it now looks like a matter of when and not if he will leave Manchester City to secure a return to the Emirates.
His inexperience has caused some concern among supporters, but these Arsenal fans on social media are feeling confident about what could be about to unfold.

Read Arsenal verdict
What Arteta lacks in experience, he certainly makes up for in ideas and that’s the big hope for these Arsenal fans.
Pep Guardiola and Arsene Wenger have both spoken very highly of Arteta as a coach and as someone who has long been tipped to go into management, Arsenal could be the perfect starting point for him.
It’s a club he knows as well as anyone and the club’s long-standing football tradition are in line with the style of play he believes in.
Given his inexperience and the size of the task at hand, of course, the club must give Arteta the necessary time to turn things around at the Emirates, but this could be a match made in heaven for the Gunners.
