Pundit wants Mikel Arteta to turn Arsenal into European giants amid Madrid rumours
Arteta has developed a good reputation in the few seasons.
Gabby Agbonlahor admits Mikel Arteta should stay at Arsenal and turn them into European giants instead of leaving, amidst reports he has interest from Real Madrid.
The Gunners boss has emerged as one of the finest managers in European football and continues to prove his worth at the club.
The ex-midfielder has transformed Arsenal from a club that finishes outside the top four into a would-be champion and did all that within three years.
Mikel Arteta is linked with big clubs including Los Blancos but Agbonlahor reckons he should stay at Arsenal and turn them into a top European club instead.
He tells Football Insider:
“I don’t think Arsenal can be considered Champions League contenders yet. That’s a while away.
“Real Madrid are in that bracket, every season.
“But there’s no reason why Arteta can’t make Arsenal contenders for that competition.
“The talk of him going to Madrid, I don’t see why he would want to go right now.”
Arteta has developed a good reputation in the few seasons he has spent on the Arsenal bench and we should not be surprised that clubs want him as their manager.
