Arsenal has now lost its fourth match in a row since beating Ostersunds in Sweden in a Europa tie. 

Due to Arsenal's dismal performance, reports have emerged that there is a possibility that a former Arsenal midfielder, Mikel Arteta might succeed Wenger in summer.

Arsenal fans today chanted for Wenger to be sacked after the club failing to sail past a determined  Brighton in a match officiated by Stuart Attwell as the centre referee. 

This prompted calls for a new manager to succeed Wenger next season with Mikel Arteta as a preferred candidate.

Arteta spent five seasons with the North London club before retiring in 2016 and joining Man city board to work under Pep Guardiola as his assistant coach.

Arsene Wenger also prefers Arteta to replace should he retire at the end of the season. 

Arteta is currently in his first coaching season at Man city and has caught the attention of Arsenal's major shareholder Stanley Kroenke due to Man city's desirable performance this season.

However, Arsenal should be ready to face competition from Everton who is also struggling in the league. 

The Toffees are also eyeing Arteta to replace Sam Allardyce who seems to have fallen out of favour at Goodison Park. 

Big Sam has been struggling to impress since he was handed the duty in November.

Therefore, it is yet to be seen who will land Mikel Arteta’s signature to be the new manager as both clubs target the Spaniard.
