He is widely credited as one of the key figures behind Arsenal’s status as a prominent club in modern football and is cherished by everyone associated with the team.
Since his departure, Wenger has deliberately kept his distance from Arsenal, not wanting to exert any undue pressure on his successor in the managerial role.
However, he did make a special appearance at the Emirates on Boxing Day last year, witnessing Arsenal’s victory over West Ham United. The fans gave him a warm welcome, and he even had the chance to meet the players after the match.
Arteta has now confirmed that he is still in contact with Wenger and that the club is actively working on bringing him back. He expressed that important strides have already been made in this regard, aiming to bring Wenger closer to the team once again.
