Jamie Carragher on told Super Sunday, which was broadcast on Sky Sports, that Mikel Arteta should pick the Arsenal job over the Everton one.

Arsenal and Everton have both been linked with Arteta, as they both search for new managers.

Arsenal currently have Freddie Ljungberg in interim charge, while Everton have Duncan Ferguson in their managerial hot seat on a temporary basis.

The two Premier League clubs are thought to want to make a permanent appointment sooner rather than later though.

And even though Arteta has no managerial experience he is reportedly appealing to both Arsenal and Everton.

Carragher feels that the job at the Gunners should be the most intriguing for the Spaniard though, as they have more potential than Everton for the future.

“There’s a lot of work to do, but this is a huge job and a huge club. he’s never managed before and he’s being talked about getting one of the biggest jobs, will Arsenal come round again,” Carragher questioned.

“If the new man comes in and does well he could be here four or five years. He’ll want to start somewhere.

“But there won’t be many bigger clubs than this that want Arteta – and if it is a toss up between Arsenal or Everton, Arsenal is the bigger club. He’s got more chance of being successful and playing Champions League football.”

If Arsenal were to appoint Arteta it would be a massive risk, given his lack of experience.

The Gunners have disappointed this season, and currently sit in ninth place in the Premier League table.

Everton have also failed to live up to expectations this term, with the Toffees positioned just above the relegation zone.
