Arsene Wenger has confirmed Mikel Arteta is poised to join Pep Guardiola at Manchester City next season.
Media reports revealed on Thursday that the Arsenal midfielder had received a firm offer from the Guardiola to join his coaching team next season. And Wenger admits Arteta could join City, saying: ‘It’s possible. It’s true that he is out of contract here.
‘His contract finishes here. It’s a good opportunity for me to thank him for his contribution not only as a player but as a leader. I heard about that possibility (of going to City) but he is able to inform you much better than I. He is free to decide to do what he wants, he will certainly need some time to reflect on whether he continues to play.”
”I still think he can play, in the last months he has come back to a very good physical level and he is a position today where he can continue to play and he would be a very good player. Wenger admitted he was reluctant to dish out coaching roles to former players as he is unable to create ‘artificial positions’ at the club.”
