Pep Guardiola has helped Mikel Arteta resolve Arsenal's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang fallout
Mikel Arteta has divided the opinion of fans after the situation concerning Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, and whether the culture he is installing at the club is too strict.
However, the Spaniard spent three years as a coach at Manchester City under Pep Guardiola who is considered one of, if not the best manager in the world and would have certainly incorporated some of his philosophies into Arsenal.
In recent years, the Gunners have been labelled as soft, which has been down to a lack of discipline in the dressing room.
It is clear Arteta has a stern stance on changing the culture at the club and with him having been amongst an elite culture at Manchester City, he should continue the path he is going down.
Aubameyang aimed a slight dig towards Arteta during his first press conference as a Barcelona player.
“My last few months at Arsenal were complicated, that’s football sometimes. For my part, I never wanted to do anything wrong. My problem was only with Arteta. I can’t say much more, I wasn’t happy.”
Aubameyang was banished from the first-team squad due to a string of consistent disciplinary issues, despite being the Arsenal captain.
Love him or hate him, Arteta has worked/trained in one of the most elite high-performance cultures that has ever existed in football.
If he's making calls on the AFC culture, he's well-positioned to do so, because he's seen what 'elite' looks like.
Shouldn't be controversial.

In previous years, the 32-year-old may have been able to work his way back into the squad, but Arteta having taken experience from Guardiola and incorporating his own ideas, ensured that player discipline must be taken seriously in an effort to set high standards.
This was something echoed
