The Europa League returns to action next week, but Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is refusing to prioritise the competition.
You could argue that the competition is the club’s most likely route into next season’s Champions League, with a nine-point gap currently separating us from the top-four, with 10 teams ahead of us also vying for those positions.
Arteta has always reiterated that he takes every match as it comes, and once again insists that his sole thinking is on the Leeds clash tomorrow.
Mikel Arteta continues to refuse to name his priorities for this season, when asked if Arsenal's priority should be the Europa League which returns next week 🤔🤔🤔

If Champions League football is a priority this season, do we need to put the EL at the top of our priority list?

So Wenger and Emery sacked because no CL after 18 months. Yet Arteta not pressured about CL after his 18 months.
So much for ambition. So what exactly are club’s goals for the season then? Lower the wage bill? Honestly, can someone tell me what goals are set to gauge progress?
Why not give youth valuable experience to prepare for next season if CL and Europa aren’t goals? Saliba & Gabriel could work on their partnership, Saka, ESR, and Martinelli could build their chemistry.
Looking like a lost year, but hey at least we saved our Billionaire owner a few millions in wages.
