Arteta will find it tough to hush critics if he fails to deliver this season

THE pressure was already on Mikel Arteta to deliver at Arsenal this season, but that will only increase following today's launch of Amazon Prime Video's fly-on-the-wall documentary.

Cameras followed the club's every move last season and now the opportunity is there for people to scrutinise where Arsenal went wrong in their bid to qualify for the Champions League.

After falling short, the Gunners have backed Arteta in the transfer market and spent big this summer.

Arteta has secured his top striker target with the £45million arrival of Gabriel Jesus from Manchester City. Oleksandr Zinchenko has also swapped the Etihad for north London, while highly-rated Portuguese youngster Fabio Vieira's arrival has taken the club's total outlay to more than £100m.

That summer spend means the pressure is on Arteta to take Arsenal back to the Champions League this season.

Arsenal have enjoyed a perfect pre-season this summer, winning all five of their matches, and the mood inside and outside the club is one of optimism.
