Arteta on 'North London forever' song:
"I have thousands of requests from our supporters to do something about it. We want to listen to them and do something. It’s great. Let’s give it a push if that that’s what they want to do."
Arteta on when the players found out about his contract:
"They found out this morning. Some of them asked me in the past because they have questions. But I don’t like to talk about that. This afternoon it’s done."
Arteta on timing of contract:
"The club offered me the contract on the day we lost three matches. That day I said chapeau and we go."
