Mikel Arteta has revealed that he has been in regular dialogue with former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, since taking charge at the Emirates in December.
The current Gunners boss was captain under Wenger during the latter years of the Frenchman's tenure at the club.
Speaking ahead of Saturday's FA Cup final against Chelsea, Arteta said: 'Knowing he [Wenger] is there that just knowing he is there and he is going to be supporting us and supporting me, I feel calmer.'
