Ainsley Maitland-Niles has come to the conclusion that the writing is on the wall for his career at Arsenal & in order to achieve regular first-team game time, he must leave the Emirates Stadium. ( @David_Ornstein)

Maitland-Niles senses a lack of trust in him from Arteta & he would welcome the chance to explore a fresh opportunity away from his boyhood club, with interest coming from England & Germany. ( @David_Ornstein)

Mikel Arteta on club investment: “You're not in the Champions League and because you're not in the Champions League, you say, ‘Okay, I don’t invest because I don’t have the financial ability to do it’. But the other clubs invest and then the gap becomes bigger.” ( @pbsportswriter)

Mikel Arteta: “We've an incredible history, an incredible structure, in a beautiful city and a style of play that attracts players. I'm telling you now because when I am closer to the market now when I speak to people, a lot of players want to play for Arsenal.” ( @pbsportswriter)

Arteta on how much more harder Champions League qualification is being out of the competition each year: "Harder & harder. If you aren't in [it] & you say: ‘ok I don’t invest because I don't have the financial ability to do it,’ but other clubs invest, the gap becomes bigger"

Arteta: “If I do want to invest & risk & then I don’t reach it, what happens? So at some stage you have to make a decision, whether I want to aim to make that gap closer & go for it or I stay where I am.” ( @pbsportswriter)

Arteta: "We need to sit down & agree on the ambitions of the club, what direction we want to take & put a plan together to achieve those targets. The demands will be huge. That's never going to change because they are linked to the history & success of this club"( @pbsportswriter)

Arteta: "But as long as I am sitting in this manager’s chair, I will not stop thinking of Arsenal as a Champions League club" ( @pbsportswriter)

Arteta on if buying a defender like Van Dijk is his aim: "Yes as that's the way I believe a team has to be built. They [Liverpool] were conceding goals, with individual errors & set pieces as well. The moment they touched the spine of the team that changes dramatically.”

Arteta: You can see what happened straight away at Manchester City when Aymeric Laporte came in.

But we have to know that we have to do it our way with our resources. We have to find a way." ( @pbsportswriter)

Arteta: "You get one of the best defenders in the world with the best goalkeeper in the world with one of the best holding midfielders in the world & you change it pretty quickly. But we have to know that we have to do it our way with our resources. We have to find a way"

Mikel Arteta on Emi Martinez: "In terms of Emi’s character & his goalkeeping ability, I didn’t have any question marks. The way he trains every day, behaves & has been behaving since he’s been at the club is phenomenal"

Jurgen Klopp on Mikel Arteta: “Mikel is part of very exciting new manager generation. Really exciting to watch. You can see the ideas, influenced by Pep. Mikel would have had the same ideas when he was a player. Arsenal are a really exciting squad.”

Klopp: "On top of that [there is] a really exciting squad, all the different offensive [players]. They have more experienced offensive players with massive quality & then coming up a lot of really, really good ones. So yes it looks like Arsenal will be a proper challenger again"
