Mikel Arteta will reportedly leave Manchester City for Arsenal.
It has been reported that Arteta will be appointed as the new Arsenal manager on Friday.
The Spaniard has already said his farewell at City and will leave his role as the assistant coach at the Premier League giants.
BBC Sport has claimed that there has been “annoyance” at the Citizens over the Gunners’ conduct regarding Arteta, but they will stand in his way.
Risky appointment for Arsenal
Arteta has been superb as a coach at City, but being a manager is very different and much tougher.
While the Spaniard has a strong reputation as a coach, with Arsenal very much in the race for the Premier League top four, it is a risky appointment for the North London outfit.
Arsenal will return to action on Saturday afternoon when they take on Everton away from home at Goodison Park in the Premier League.
