Bentley began his career with the Gunners, playing just one senior game despite being dubbed the "next David Beckham".
He joined Tottenham in 2008, but suffered from persistent injuries before hanging up his boots five years later.
Bentley starred in a Sellebrity Soccer charity match at the Emirates on Thursday.
He played alongside internet duo Woody and Kleiny, who later filmed the midfielder rooting around behind the scenes at the Emirates.
The clip - which was taken down on Friday night - was posted by the former Britain's Got Talent duo across their Instagram, TikTok and Facebook pages.
It showed Bentley decked out in a Tottenham shirt with "Winners 2025" written in black pen across the back, referencing the recent Europa League final.
Bentley enters what appears to be Arteta's office, with the Spaniard's name on a plaque alongside the door.
Entering the room, a laughing Bentley said: "I love this man."
He then headed straight over to a mini fridge alongside Arteta's tactics board.
Taking out two bottles of lager, he joked: "You know what he's done for me? He's only gone and left us a beer."
Moment bold Arsenal fan bombarded with X-rated chant from Spurs supporters after strolling around Bilbao in Gunners kit
Woody and Kleiny confirmed they had been asked to remove the footage from their social pages on Friday night.
Addressing their 5 million Instagram fans, the duo wrote: "Many have been asking where the post of Bentley raiding Arteta's fridge has gone...
"Unfortunately we were asked to remove the video."
The clip has since been widely shared across social media, with fans from both teams reacting to Bentley's brazen prank.
But it appeared to be Bentley's grammar which grated Arsenal's fanbase the most.
One wrote: "This is the most David Bentley content imaginable from the theft for bantz down to writing the word winners with an apostrophe on an 08/09 Spurs kit".
Another groaned: "Unnecessary apostrophe there Mr Bentley."

UK factories struggle as trade uncertainty, higher costs hit, PMI shows
LONDON, June 2 (Reuters) - The downturn in British manufacturing was less steep than first feared in May but output, orders and jobs continued to drop as companies cited recent tax hikes and U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs, a survey showed on Monday. The final reading of the S&P Global UK manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI), a measure of activity among factories, was 46.4 in May compared to 45.4 in April. It was the highest since February but remained below the 50 threshold for growth. The provisional PMI figure for May was 45.1. While the rates of contraction across new orders, output and exports eased, survey compiler S&P Global said the environment for manufacturers was still tough. "May PMI data indicate that UK manufacturing faces major challenges, including turbulent market conditions, trade uncertainties, low client confidence and rising tax-related wage costs," Rob Dobson, director at S&P Global Market Intelligence, said. May's decline in output was linked to a reduced intake of new business as demand from domestic and overseas fell. The fall in exports orders was mainly linked to weaker demand from the U.S. and Europe. The survey showed 49% of manufacturers expected to see output increase over the coming year, slightly above 44% in April. Manufacturing firms cut employment at the fastest pace in three months in response to uncertain economic outlook - plus a rise in employers' social security contributions and 6.7% increase in the minimum wage that came into force in April. But there were signs that the worst of the inflation surge may have passed, S&P said, as the pace of increases in input costs and selling prices slowed.
