Arteta on Berta’s transfer credentials
Mikel Arteta was yesterday asked about whether Andrea Berta can give Arsenal a new edge in the transfer market.
He said: “Well, we certainly believe that he is someone who is going to impact the club.
“And he’s got that experience, he’s got this personality as well, this charisma, and he strives to and wills to win. That is going to be very contagious.
“It’s very much instilled in the football club, especially from the top, because this is what we want to achieve, but to have people as well with different expertise, experiences, and that they’ve already done it, is very, very helpful.
“The good thing is the strong team that we already have in place, and all the work that the recruitment, that Jason, James, and all the boys have been doing, and everything is prepared.
“And then that planning has to be tweaked, because what you plan and you execute most of the time ends up being a bit different but the direction, the vision, and what we want to do is clear.
“He will jump on board with that, and hopefully he will twist it and make it better. That’s why he’s here.”
