Now, Mikel Arteta has shared his thoughts on Marco Silva𓆏 ahead of the Premier League clash between Arsenal and Fulham.

What Mikel Arteta said about Marco Silva

🧜The Spaniard has now been quoted by the as saying: “They are always a tough opposition. They are well coached and they have been together for many years. They have great organisation and individual quality. They have a very clear identity and idea of how to approach the game, so we have to be very good to beat them.

꧋“We had a lot of dominance in the last game against them (1-1 draw in December) but they were very clinical. They managed to score the goal and sat back and reduced the spaces.”

Silva – who is also a target for Juventusᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ – can boast 81 wins and 35 draws from his 175 games in charge of the Cottagers, which is an excellent record.

Fulham have a plan to fend off Tottenham

TBR Football understand Fulham want to tie Silva down to a new contract🅠 – and have a plan up their sleeve in a bid to convince the Portuguese coach to stay.

💎The Cottagers hope to lure Angel Gomes to west London, a player Tottenham also want to sign, with Fulham believing a successful swoop for the England international will go some way in keeping Silva at Craven Cottage.
