Former Arsenal captain, Cesc Fabregas, has said Mikel Arteta is “creating a monster” at the club.
Fabregas has also backed the Gunners to continue challenging Manchester City for the Premier League title next season.
Arteta’s men lost the title by two points this season, as City clinched it for a fourth consecutive year.
But Fabregas believes City have not received enough credit for their historic success in the Premier League.
He told El Larguero: “It’s still an achievement. They don’t give it that much attention either because it’s, ‘oh, they always win’, but it’s very difficult, very difficult.
“They have a lot of money and they have the best players but it is also very difficult because you are competing in the Champions League against Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Barcelona.
“In the Premier League, Arsenal are creating a monster too and they [City] continue to beat them and compete well and it’s not the end.”
