Arteta has labled one of his former teammates as complete 'chaos' during his time as a player at Arsenal.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has opened up about his former teammates in a recent interview, shedding light on their unique qualities and contributions to the club.
Arteta, who enjoyed a successful playing career at Arsenal before transitioning into coaching, spent time alongside some of the Gunners' most iconic players.
One such player is Alexis Sanchez, whom Arteta described as 'chaos' during their time together at the Emirates Stadium.
Sanchez arrived at Arsenal in 2014 and quickly established himself as a key figure in the team. He played a pivotal role in helping the Gunners lift two FA Cups and was honored with the 2015 PFA Fans' Player of the Year award.
Additionally, he was named in the 2015 PFA Team of the Year, showcasing his impressive form and impact on the pitch.
However, Sanchez's move to Manchester United in 2018 marked a downturn in his career. His struggles at Old Trafford raised questions about his form and changed the perception of him within the footballing world.
Despite this, Arteta remembers Sanchez's time at Arsenal fondly, acknowledging his brilliance during the latter stages of Arsene Wenger's tenure.
Speaking to Goal, Arteta engaged in a game of word association, where he used the term 'chaos' to describe Sanchez.
Despite the abrupt and controversial end to his Arsenal career, Arteta emphasized Sanchez's significant contributions to the club, acknowledging his role as the Gunners' talisman in previous seasons.
