Mikel Arteta on Barcelona shortlist

Arsenal manger Mikel Arteta could be in line for a move to Barcelona in the coming months.

The Spaniard has given his full commitment to the Gunners since arriving from Manchester City, where he was assistant to Pep Guardiola.

In the subsequent years, Arteta has won the FA Cup and established Arsenal as title contenders.

According to Relevo, Barcelona are eager to bring him into the club for next season.

They believe that he is the ideal replacement for Xavi Hernandez, who is leaving when the season concludes.

Xavi, another midfield maestro, has indicated that the pressure of managing Barca was too much for him to handle.
