Arsenal Boss Arteta Speaks On Becoming Barcelona New Manager

Mikel Arteta says he is “extremely happy” at Arsenal after reports linking him with the Barcelona job.

The 40-year-old Spaniard has guided the Gunners to the top of the Premier League, while they reach the last 16 of the Europa League if they beat Zurich.

Barca, who are managed by their former player Xavi, have lined up Arteta as a future boss, according to the reports.

“They [Barcelona] have a phenomenal coach who is an absolute legend at the club,” said Arteta on Wednesday.

Arsenal are top of Group A with 12 points from five games, two more than second-placed PSV Eindhoven – who are in Norway to face Bodo/Glimt – before the final round of group games.
