Previously, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta had opened his voice about his hopes of seeing Wenger return to Emirates.

"Hopefully we can make him come back because I think he's going to have fun just by looking at the environment he created when he was around this place," the Spanish manager was quoted as saying by The Sun on Tuesday, December 27.

"This is out of respect, admiration, and love that everyone at the club has for what he does and for what he represents at this club."

Wenger has spent 22 years in North London managing Arsenal from 1996 to 2018. He finally left after Arsenal failed to qualify for the Champions League for the second time in years.

Wenger was later replaced by Unai Emery before Mikel Arteta took over the coaching chair in 2019.
