Shock as Man City man set to replace Arsene Wenger at Arsenal

According to reports, Ex-Arsenal midfielder Mikel Arteta is viewed as a potential managerial replacement for French tactician Arsene Wenger.

As per the Telegraph, the Gunners are making arrangements for life after the former Monaco boss, who still has a year and a half left on his current Arsenal deal following his renewal toward the finish of last season.

Arteta played for the North London side in the end phases of his playing career and showed tactical knowledge during his playing days, with many touting him as a future Arsenal boss.

Following his retirement, he was selected by former Barcelona manager Pep Guardiola upon his landing in Manchester City, with the Spaniard filling in as Pep Guardiola’s assistant manager.

The 35-year-old is suggested to have gotten an offer from the Emirates Stadium to join up with the club’s technical staff, yet the opportunity to work close by Pep Guardiola turned out to be excessively enticing a recommendation.

Arsene Wenger is to some degree improbable to proceed past his present contract and it appears Mikel Arteta is one of the leaders to replace him as Arsenal boss.

The Ex Everton midfielder hit the news headlines last week after reportedly being struck in the head during a tunnel bust-up after the Manchester derby game.
