The 25 Arsenal players with the most appearances under Mikel Arteta

20. Oleksandr Zinchenko (67 appearances)

The Ukrainian international Oleksandr Zinchenko quickly became a fan favourite when he transferred from Manchester City in 2022. The full-back who spends more time wandering around the pitch than a tourist in a new city is an excellent example of a "Mikel Arteta-type player."

Zinchenko hasn't been without his own injury concerns but he is more often than not one of the first names on the team sheet when available.

19. Mohamed Elneny (71 appearances)
