Arteta warns Arsenal players to handle title race pressure or leave
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has issued a stark warning to his players: enjoy the pressure of being in a Premier League title race or prepare to play for another club. Speaking ahead of Sunday's clash with Tottenham, Arteta emphasized that coping with the 'noise' of a title fight is non-negotiable. With Arsenal holding a two-point lead over Manchester City after an extra fixture, Arteta challenged players to embrace the demands of competing for the title or seek opportunities elsewhere. 'If you don't want the noise, go and do something else,' he stated, framing the pressure as integral to the challenge of returning to title contention after years of demand. The ultimatum comes as Arsenal seeks to capitalize on their narrow advantage in the race for the Premier League crown.
