Wow! Spaniard has been tipped to pack his bags and leave Arsenal in summer
Former Manchester United captain Gary Neville has predicted that Mikel Arteta could decide to leave Arsenal this summer, amid all the reports that he is being lined up for numerous jobs
Arteta has done a pretty decent job at the Emirates after he took over the club just a few seasons ago and has turned Arsenal back into contenders for that Champions League football most clubs crave for
However, there has been some shock reports in the media which has claimed that PSG are very much interested in taking him to French football during the summer window, as they seek an immediate replacement for the disappointing Mauricio Pochettino.
Now, amid that speculation, Arteta may decide to leave the club according to Neville: ‘I really like Mikel Arteta, I think he’s a brilliant coach. I think the team is fantastic in terms of the young players they’ve got,’ Neville said at a Sky Sports fan debate.
‘But it’s interesting when you’re in a cycle of a club and you depress the ambition and have a significant period of failure because you then get really happy about finishing fourth
‘I found myself saying that about Manchester United. But it’s because of a depressed ambition.
‘I think Mikel Arteta is a good operator. My concern is if Arsenal finish fourth this season – which to be fair, I think is 50/50, I still think there’s a long way to in that race – but if they finish fourth, that’s in some ways as good as it gets.
‘You’ve got Pep [Guardiola], [Jurgen] Klopp, Man United, Chelsea, where can Arsenal go? They’re not going to compete.
‘Mikel Arteta is a brilliant coach, I love that we’re seeing a team that he’s getting the maximum out of, I can see exactly how he wants to play, we all can.
‘But he gets to fourth [and] if he was really hard about it, he’d probably say “right, that’s the best I can do there, I’m going now and getting my next job”.’

It would be a massive shock to see Arteta leave the club when the fans are happy with him and the board are too, but we would also not be surprised to see him leave should a big offer come in
