The Arsenal striker's brother took to social media to make
his feelings clear about the imminent appointment of Mikel Arteta as head
coach, as the Gunners prepare to confirm the Spaniard
Arsenal is confident of concluding a deal to appoint Mikel
Arteta as their new head coach on a three-and-a-half-year deal, but the
Spaniard's arrival is not universally popular if social media is anything to go
by. Football fanatics from all over the world can buy Premier League Tickets online to enjoy its stunning
performances.
Arteta held talks with Gunners director Josh Kroenke son of
owner Stan on Monday night, and it is thought the appointment of the former
Arsenal midfielder has been approved by those at the top of the club.
The 37-year-old is set to be in the Manchester City dugout
for their Carabao Cup quarter-final at Oxford United on Wednesday night, but an
announcement from Arsenal could come once the game is finished, which means
Arteta is likely to take charge of the Gunners for their trip to Everton at the
weekend.
Arsenal managing director Vinai Venkatesham, and director of
football operations, Huss Fahmy were pictured leaving Arteta’s Manchester home
in the early hours of Monday morning, which reportedly left City angered by the
lack of contact between the clubs.
But City boss Pep Guardiola said his assistant head coach was
transparent with him throughout the process.
“Mikel was honest with me," Guardiola said.
"Arsenal we were there two days ago. They were talking
with our sporting director, the CEO and didn’t say anything.
“I don’t know if the meeting was at one at night because they
didn’t want to make it public, but in the end it was public.
“I think Arsenal want to do the best thing possible.
Sometimes it’s not easy to handle this kind of situation. We cannot deny that
all the clubs around the world make behind the scenes the first contact to try
to avoid the clubs that are in charge.
“All I can say from what I’m concerned about is that Mikel
was clear with me and that’s all. Perhaps there is a problem with the chairmen
and the CEOs they have to talk to each other.”
Arteta's arrival has reportedly sparked concerns among the
Arsenal dressing room, with many feeling the club should have appointed
Everton-bound Carlo Ancelotti.
According to The Mirror, Arteta could find some of his
senior players struggling to buy into his appointment because they were in
favor of the vastly-experienced Italian taking over from Unai Emery.
The reported stance from some players appears to mirror those
of their families - especially in Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's case.
Aubameyang's brother Willy replied to a post on
Instagram to offer his opinion on Arteta's arrival by writing: Ljungberg, Arteta
is the same, no experience, followed by some frowning face emojis.
