It’s been a big summer of change at Arsenal.
Indeed, the Gunners have made a number of new signings and the squad feels fresher than it has for a while.
Noni Madueke has hit the ground running at the Emirates, while Viktor Gyokeres has looked bright recently too.
However, this week, there was perhaps the most notable change at Arsenal so far this season.
Indeed, Tim Lewis has left Arsenal in his role as Executive Vice-Chair, and there has been a real boardroom shake up.
This comes not long after Edu Gaspar left Arsenal and was replaced by Andrea Berta.
Arsenal have brought in a number of new faces, and one of these new additions could signal great news for Mikel Arteta.
Ben Winston loves Mikel Arteta
Ben Winston has joined Arsenal in a non-executive director role.
The famous film, TV and music producer has been an Arsenal fan for a long time, and as someone with a lot of friends in high places, he’s often mingling with Arsenal legends and current stars.
Winston comes into Arsenal with plenty of knowledge about the club, and he’s previously noted on Instagram how much he loves Mikel Arteta.
The fact that Winston is such a fan of Arteta bodes well for the Spaniard as no manager in the Premier League can truly feel secure in their job at any time.
Mikel Arteta’s job is safer than ever
There have been some suggestions that Mikel Arteta could be sacked if he doesn’t win a trophy this season.
In fact, some have called for Arteta to be sacked very recently due to the lack of silverware in recent years.
However, with Winston in the boardroom, Arteta’s job may be more secure than it already was.
Indeed, Arteta now has another ally in the boardroom at the Emirates, and while his job was already very secure, it’s now seemingly even more iron-clad than it already was.
