Arsenal great David Seaman says manager Mikel Arteta is right man in charge.

Seaman believes the Spanish coach is the one to rebuild Arsenal just like Arsene Wenger did in 1996.

He told The Sun: “He definitely needs to be given more time. He is slowly sifting through the squad, getting rid of players he knows he doesn't want.

“The board need to back him in the summer window and he needs his own team. The players he has currently, a lot of them he has inherited so it is difficult for him at the moment.

“From what I see and hear he is the right man and he gives me confidence. I'd be disappointed if they did sack him, we have got a good one."
