Arteta suggested that the “tricky” Puma ball used by the EFL in the Carabao Cup had been a factor in his side’s shooting woes during a 2-0 semi-final first leg defeat by Newcastle.
It will replace the current Hi-Vis winter ball for the rest of the campaign and bring an end to Nike's 25-year ball reign in style.
SunSport understands that an exact version of the Carabao Cup ball has already been developed and agreed as the new Prem model - despite the complaints by some managers about it this season.
Chelsea fans will be buzzing to see it back, after this ball saw the Blues win their first ever Prem title, and follow up again the following year.
