Mikel Arteta very firm on the Real Madrid rumor

And if it was him, the chosen one, the one who will bring Arsenal back to the top of the kingdom to finally become Arsene Wenger’s successor? For the moment, he takes the lead. At the head of the English championship, Mikel Arteta is having an incredible season on the bench for the Gunners. After 26 Premier League days, his team is still five points ahead of Manchester City, and remains in the Europa League race. Tonight, the Gunners go to the lawn of Sporting Portugal in the round of 16 first leg of the C3. Before this meeting, the Spaniard was present at a press conference, and he was asked about his future, he who recently saw his name linked to … Real Madrid.

“I am fully focused on work”

Guardiola’s former assistant wanted to be very firm in the face of these rumors: “As a coach, I can’t control the things that are written about me. But what I can tell you is that I’m fully focused on the job I’m doing here and I’m extremely proud and grateful to do what I’m doing with this football club. And that’s it.” Arsenal supporters can be reassured, Mikel Arteta is visibly impervious to what can be said about him, and completely focused on his season with the Gunners.
