Next season is the time for Arsenal to stand a d fight till the end so that Arteta can prove to Pep that he has improved very well and have become better, otherwise Arteta will still remain a boy to Pep if he cannot win the league in the third season after making good attempt in two consecutive seasons.
I agree with you because Arteta has worked very hard for the club to grow but without defeating Pep Guardiola he has not really balance well, though Pep Guardiola thought him everything he knew about coaching but if Manchester City continues beaten them and taking there chances of becoming the premier League champions he will always be considered not enough to be compared with Pep Guardiola, however Arteta was almost certain of wining the premier League this season and prove to Pep Guardiola that he is also good but his boy wasn't good enough at the last part of the season, though in the case of next season I don't really know what will happen but the fact is that it will be very nice if Arteta will be victorious because there has been a lot of talk about him so next season would have been the time to prove himself.
Since taking charge of Arsenal in the 2019 season, Arteta has not succeeded in leading his fleet to become Premier League champions, but in the last two seasons Arteta has begun to show signs of success. Last season Arsenal were only 2 points away from City, where Arteta has proven to be on the right track, next season perhaps Arsenal will be able to surpass City and break the dominance of Pep Guardiola fleet. Arteta needs to develop a winning mentality in each of his players, so that they can withstand various pressures.
Apart from Arsenal ambition to become champions next season, City is also determined to continue maintaining dominance, and it has been proven that Pep Guardiola fleet has not shown any signs of decline. Meanwhile, in order to prepare the team for the new season, Arteta currently seems active in trying to bring in a number of new players. I think Arteta needs to recruit a striker who is more qualified than Jesus and Nketiah, so he can appear more consistent and ultimately win the race for the Premier League trophy.
