Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta, has declared he will be the “biggest” Bournemouth fan ever when they face Manchester City on Tuesday night.

Arteta was speaking after his side beat Burnley 1-0 on Monday night, a result that leaves them on the brink of winning the Premier League title.

The Gunners will be crowned champions if City do not win at the Vitality Stadium.

Bournemouth are currently coached by Arteta’s childhood friend Andoni Iraola and are currently on a 16-game unbeaten run.

“The biggest ever!” Arteta replied, when asked if he would be rooting for the Cherries.

“For Andoni, and all the players and all the supporters of Bournemouth, I think we are all [Bournemouth fans] because we know what it means if they get a result.”
