‘This is why we call Arteta a ‘BABY COACH’. How can a player be good this season if you are already planning to sell him and want to win trophies? ‘NO WAY’” Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp blasts Mikel Arteta for seeking to sell Key Man in the summer, who has been assisting them for a long time.

At the conclusion of the season, Arsenal is poised to bid farewell to a pivotal member of its first-team roster, thereby casting a shadow of uncertainty over Mikel Arteta’s strategic blueprints.

Amidst Arsenal’s ongoing battle for the Premier League crown and its presence in the prestigious Champions League, Arteta finds himself confronted with the formidable challenge of retaining a cornerstone figure within the club.

Undoubtedly, the collective efforts of Arteta’s coaching cadre have been instrumental in fueling the Gunners’ ascent during his illustrious four-year tenure. However, the impending summer could usher in a seismic shift within the club’s inner sanctum.

Reports from The Guardian suggest that Mikel Arteta’s esteemed assistant, Carlos Cuesta, might embark on a managerial odyssey of his own, potentially severing ties with Arsenal to chart his course elsewhere. Among the suitors vying for his services, Championship stalwarts like Norwich City have emerged as formidable contenders, reportedly displaying a fervent interest in securing the Spaniard’s expertise.

Since his arrival at Arsenal in 2020, the youthful Cuesta, aged merely 28, has been a linchpin in the transformative journey that has seen the Gunners metamorphose from Premier League underdogs to legitimate title contenders under Arteta’s stewardship.

Cuesta’s tenure at Arsenal has been characterized by a nurturing ethos that has cultivated the burgeoning talents of prodigious stars such as Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, and Emile Smith-Rowe. However, the allure of assuming the mantle of a managerial luminary beckons, enticing Cuesta to venture forth and etch his indelible mark beyond the confines of his current role.

According to insider sources, Norwich City emerges as the frontrunner in the pursuit of Cuesta’s services, with the club’s sporting director, Ben Knapper, spearheading the concerted effort to orchestrate the Spaniard’s recruitment. Knapper, a familiar face within Arsenal’s organizational echelons, having served as the club’s loans manager until as recently as November 2023, is purportedly keen on ushering in a new era under Cuesta’s tutelage, envisioning a seamless transition from the David Wagner era.
