Arteta wants his men to aim higher, as he is excited about beautiful’ part of the season
-
The success of the Arsenal women's team is a source of pride for the men as they continue their hunt for silverware, said Gunners boss Mikel Arteta on April 2.
The women's team won the League Cup by defeating Chelsea on March 31, while Arteta's men were held 0-0 by Manchester City in a match that could prove pivotal in this season's title race.
"We are on track as a club. What the women's team did at the weekend makes us so proud and it's so important as well," Arteta told a news conference on the eve of their home Premier League match against Luton Town.
"There are a lot of good things happening, but we need to aim for much more than that... This is where we want to be. Now we want to take this opportunity and make it happen." The result at the Etihad saw the Gunners displaced by Liverpool at the top of the table, but victory the relegation-threatened Hatters will see them return to the summit for 24 hours at least, as Jurgen Klopp's men host Sheffield United a day later.
