Arsenal will part ways with Mikel Arteta if he doesn't secure a trophy this season, with the Kroenkes reportedly eyeing Cesc Fabregas as his potential replacement. This revelation comes after a disheartening 2-1 loss to Bournemouth, amplifying scrutiny on Arteta, who hasn't won a trophy since the 2020 FA Cup victory over Chelsea.
With Arsenal currently second in the Premier League and at risk of being overtaken by Manchester City, the pressure mounts. City can equal Arsenal's points if they win their two games in hand and defeat the Gunners in a critical title clash next Sunday. The recent form is concerning, as Arsenal has lost three of their last four matches, including a defeat to Southampton in the FA Cup and a loss to Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final.
Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo indicates that Arteta's position is precarious, especially with his contract set to expire in 2027. If he fails to clinch either the Premier League or Champions League, a significant change is expected. The Kroenkes have already identified Fabregas, who knows the club well from his eight-year stint at Arsenal, as the ideal candidate to step in, should Arteta be let go.
