To win the Premier League against Guardiola's Manchester City, Arteta's demand for Arsenal FC

Arsenal FC has had significant growth in the last two years. The team went from fighting to get into the top 6, to fighting for the lead with Manchester City and all thanks to the great efforts of Mikel Arteta, who returned the Gunners to the prominence they deserve. However, they have yet to break the barrier and take the English league title. For this, Arteta would already have a demand from the board.

Arsenal are determined to ensure the continuity of Takehiro Tomiyasu, the versatile Japanese defender who has impressed during his time at the club after joining from Bologna, and according to reports from David Ornstein, the London team is making progress in negotiations to offer Tomiyasu a new long-term contract.

Although the player currently has a contract until June 30, 2025, with a possible extension for an additional year, Arsenal are looking to consolidate their long-term commitment. This strategy aims to clear up any speculation about his future, especially with rumors linking him to clubs like Inter Milan or Bayern Munich. The footballer is well listed in the transfer market, but Arteta does not want to risk.

Arsenal's intention is to keep Tomiyasu in their ranks, highlighting his importance and performance within the team. This measure could be a sign of confidence and recognition towards the Japanese player, seeking to guarantee his permanence in the London team for a prolonged period, allowing him to increase the 71 games played to date with the Gunner team.
