Mikel Arteta has provided a reassuring answer for Arsenal fans to the rumours of him being Ronald Koeman’s successor at Barcelona.
The Catalan giants sacked Koeman on Wednesday after a string of disappointing results left them in ninth place in the La Liga table. Arteta is one of the names who has been linked with the vacant role. It if of course back in his home country.
And it is at the club where his professional playing career began. He failed to break into their first team after spells with their C and B side.
It seems the Spanish manager will not be making a return to his former side.
