According to Sky Sports, Arteta's new contract with Arsenal signals the club entering the fifth phase of his five-step plan: building a dynasty. Sky Sports podcast guests discussed the challenges Arteta faces and whether he can lead Arsenal to more trophies and surpass Wenger's legacy.

Podcast guest Nick Wright noted that Arsenal has changed significantly since 2019, with Arteta playing a crucial role in restoring the club to the elite level. The team now has the capability to win trophies and regularly reaches the latter stages of the Champions League. Wright believes Arsenal under Arteta has become more competitive and harder to beat.

Sam Blitz explained that Arteta outlined a five-step plan when he took over: establishing club culture, recruiting the right players, competing for titles, winning trophies, and building a dynasty. Blitz believes Arteta's new contract aligns with the plan entering its fifth phase.

Gary Cotterill noted that Wenger had a faster start at Arsenal, but Arteta still has time to catch up. At 44, Arteta has signed his fourth contract; in three years, he will have completed 10 years as Arsenal manager, the same age Wenger was when appointed by Arsenal. Cotterill believes Arteta has the opportunity to win the trophies Wenger achieved.

Blitz expressed concern that rebuilding the squad in the future will be a challenge for Arteta. If Arteta remains until 2029, his tenure would surpass Klopp's at Liverpool; if he stays until 2030, it would exceed Guardiola's at Manchester City. Blitz also noted that several of Arsenal's key players will be 30 or older by 2029, raising the question of whether Arteta can rebuild the squad at that point.

Wright noted that attacking is the area Arsenal needs to improve most, though the team's previous over-reliance on set pieces and more cautious play was largely due to injuries. He pointed out that the last time Haavertz, Saka, and Ødegaard stayed fit throughout a season, Arsenal scored 91 goals, setting a club record for goals in a single season. Wright believes Arteta wants to restore that attacking prowess and will adjust tactics as needed.

Cotterill also commented that Arteta is decisive in managing players and dealing with referees, noting he has a somewhat Mourinho-like approach when criticizing referee decisions.
