Arsenal: Mikel Arteta ‘is ready’ to manage says Pep Guardiola
Arsenal fans were heard shouting at managerial target Mikel Arteta during their 3-0 defeat to Manchester City on Sunday. The Gunners were blitzed at the Emirates with Kevin De Bruyne scoring either side of a Raheem Sterling strike.
Arteta is one of the names on Arsenal's managerial shortlist as they continue to eye a replacement for Unai Emery.
Emery was sacked at the end of November with the Gunners stuck in a rut and, since his departure, the north London giants have failed to improve.
Arsenal opted to name Freddie Ljungberg as interim boss but the Swede is struggling, with the club winning just one of their five matches under his watch.
With that in mind, the Gunners hierarchy are frantically hunting for a new manager in the hope they can still salvage something from their difficult season.
Arteta has his admirers in the board room, having previously been considered to replace Arsene Wenger back in the summer of 2018.
