The 25 Arsenal players with the most appearances under Mikel Arteta

Firstly, let's address the rules. "Appearances" refer to any match (in any competition) whereby a player was either in the starting lineup or was a USED substitute. Those appearances will only count if they were made when Mikel Arteta took charge (after 20 December, 2019). Statistics used are updated weekly, or whenever necessary, and are courtesy of Transfermarkt.

25. Dani Ceballos (60 appearances)

As far as loan deals go, it's safe to say that not many have had a greater impact at Arsenal than Dani Ceballos. Interestingly, the Spaniard was not signed permanently from Real Madrid, despite Mikel Arteta clearly being a big fan of him. Across his two-year loan spell with the Gunners, Ceballos made 60 appearances, many of those being in front of empty stadiums due to the COVID restrictions.
