LONDON: Mikel Arteta wants Arsenal players to take the club to a “different dimension” this season, insisting success is now a “new standard” for the Premier League champions.
The Gunners manager said reaching the next level requires “a better squad and better quality individuals”, as Arsenal have been linked with big-money moves for Vinicius Junior and Bruno Guimaraes.
Arsenal ended a 22-year wait to lift the EPL title last season and Arteta feels the trophy is just the beginning of what his team can achieve.
“This must be the beginning and this must be our standard.
“Excellence must be our standard and it should drive us to attack the future.
“The way we act every day is with more determination and ambition because we have proven that we have it.”
“Now we have to show we deserve to be at this level and we want to improve and take this football club to a different dimension,” he said via the Arsenal app.
Arsenal are favourites to lift the EPL trophy again this season and are hoping to go further in the Champions League after being disappointed to lose on penalties to Paris Saint-Germain in last season’s final.
Arteta had previously urged the club to be bolder in the transfer market after the defeat, with the aim of taking the team to the next level.
Arsenal are now exploring a sensational move to sign Vinicius from Real Madrid should the Brazilian fail to extend his contract at the Santiago Bernabeu and be allowed to leave the Spanish club.
Vinicius is currently in talks with Madrid management over a new contract, but only has one year left on his current deal.
Arteta is also looking to strengthen his midfield options and the club are reportedly looking to sign Newcastle United captain Guimaraes.
The 43-year-old manager is aware that he needs to bring in world-class players if he wants Arsenal to rise to a better level.
“We all know the context of this transfer window.
“From the owner to the board of directors, the sporting director and myself, we realised we wanted to take this club to a different level,” he said.
ZURICH: FIFA has opened disciplinary proceedings against the Argentine Football Association (AFA) and several of the country’s players following several alleged violations during the World Cup campaign, including the display of banners related to the sovereignty claim over the Falkland Islands.
After Argentina’s victory over England in the semi-final in Atlanta, several players held up banners bearing the slogan ‘Las Malvinas Son Argentinas’ (The Falkland Islands belong to Argentina).
FIFA has warned that the use of sporting events for non-sporting demonstration purposes may violate the world football governing body’s Disciplinary Code.
In 2014, Argentina was fined 20,000 pounds for displaying a similar banner before a friendly match against Slovenia.
In addition to the issue, FIFA is also investigating several other alleged violations throughout the tournament, including discriminatory chants and gestures, delayed kick-offs, failure to comply with safety protocols, the display of inappropriate messages by teams and fans, and incidents of fans throwing objects onto the pitch.
In a similar development, FIFA has also opened disciplinary proceedings against several players following incidents after the final in New Jersey which saw Spain beat Argentina 1-0 in extra time.
A brief scuffle broke out shortly after the final whistle when Argentina midfielder Leandro Paredes pushed Gavi down as Spain’s substitutes entered the field to celebrate the victory.
Paredes faces three charges related to physical assault, while Nahuel Molina is charged with two counts.
Molina, Thiago Almada, Argentine official Roberto Ayala and Spanish player Gavi each also face one charge of unsportsmanlike conduct.
“In accordance with the FIFA Disciplinary Code, all parties involved are now given the opportunity to submit explanations before the FIFA Disciplinary Committee makes the appropriate decision,” a FIFA statement said.
