Arteta's achievement is a testament to his longevity and success as a manager, with the Gunners becoming renowned for their defensive excellence under his leadership. During his nearly seven years in charge, Arsenal have conceded the fewest goals in the league, winning the title for the first time in 22 years last season. Against Aston Villa, they showed it again, without allowing a shot on target as Bukayo Saka's second-half goal secured victory, BBC Football reports.
The latest win not only puts Arteta in the 250 club but also sees him rank fourth in terms of win percentage among those bosses, behind only Pep Guardiola, Sir Alex Ferguson, and Jurgen Klopp. Arsenal's strength in depth cannot be understated, with the Gunners having spent £250m last summer and already £200m this year on new players. However, one area they may still look to strengthen is the forward area, with Arteta hinting that they could be active on Tuesday's deadline day.
Arsenal have one of the best squads in Europe, with the Gunners having already secured the signing of Bruno Guimaraes from Newcastle United and Christos Tzolis from Club Brugge. Arteta has stated that the level of focus and the way new players want to contribute to the team will be decisive in the season.
