Arteta gives Everton a good chance to keep their head above water

Last week, it was revealed that Everton received a ten-point deduction from the Premier League for breaching Financial Fair Play rules. Although the club has appealed, they enter matchday 13 as the 19th team in England.

'I feel very connected to the club, and this is a very difficult moment for me,' Arteta expressed his sorrow during the press moment of his current employer, Arsenal. 'This puts Everton in a very difficult position. But they have had tough times before and have always managed to bounce back,' said a hopeful Arteta.

The Spanish coach, whose Arsenal team is currently third and will face Brentford in the Premier League this weekend, knows that Everton will do everything to maintain their long-standing presence at the top level. Everton last played in the second tier of English football in 1954. 'If I had to describe Everton's qualities, it would be determination and fighting spirit. They take on every battle, and I wish them all the best.'
