Arsenal managing to patch things up with legendary coach Arsene Wenger is down to Mikel Arteta.

The club's current head coach Arteta, who played under Wenger, wanted to make sure the Frenchman felt he was welcome back at the club.

Per The Mail, Arteta pushed the club to ensure that Wenger felt comfortable in attending games, if that was his wish.

The Frenchman did eventually return to the Emirates last season for his statue unveiling.

He also appears to have a very positive relationship with Arteta and sporting director Edu.

One source said: It's like a divorce. Why would Wenger have wanted to go back to the stadium or club? After how it all ended, it would have brought back pain. Enough water under the bridge needed to have passed before that could have happened.

He is such a dignified character that he has kept his distance and not pointed any fingers at anyone."
