Mikel Arteta is expected to be named as Arsenal's new manager on Friday.

Arteta said his farewells to staff at Manchester City on Thursday morning.

There has been annoyance at City over Arsenal's conduct but they will not stop Arteta, 37, succeeding Unai Emery.

A seven-figure compensation payment will be made in order for the move to be completed.

Thursday's news conference previewing the game against Everton was cancelled.

Interim boss Freddie Ljungberg is expected to take charge of the team for the final time at Goodison Park on Saturday, with Arteta watching from the stands.

The Gunners failed to mention their interest in Arteta despite the two teams meeting at Emirates Stadium on Sunday - a game the champions won 3-0.

Gunners chief executive Vinai Venkatesham was pictured outside the Spaniard's home several hours later.

Yes Guardiola succeeded at Barca with little previous experience as a no 1, same thing with Zidane. But I still think Arsenal appointing Arteta is a wrong move that will backfire. Arsenal are currently at crisis level both on the pitch, in the dressing room, at board level and fans too, and I don't see an Arteta as having what it takes to steady the ship. Time will tell

Goodluck Arteta.
Those boys go disgrace you too.
Ask Unai

if u wan get BP support Arsenal

worwor team!!

HALA MADRID!

Arteta doesn't have the experience to manage shitty team like Arsenal.

The likes of young pep, zizou were able to exile because of great players, fans and good transfer plan.
I wish Arteta good luck but I would have prefer veterans like Benitez Ancelloti and sam Allardice

Especially Benitez he's very good at reviving dead teams

It will take a very big miracle for Arteta to succeed with this Arsenal.

Wenger, Emery and Ljunberg have all failed woefully.

I wish Arteta the best of luck!!!!!

Another Gary Neville

Since the demise of oslo, Moscow,Berlin and my baby boo Nairobi




I refuse to comment on the EPL, still mourning them.

This will end in tears

Arsenals problem isnt coach,
Even if they sign guardiola, nothing for them, when you have people like papadopolous, sokratis, holding, mustafi as your defenders with that brazillian sponge Bob, you won't amount to anything.

Arsenal love rookie signings like kilode!

Them forget say their most successful era na wen them get plenty experience old heads

I'm not excited one bit to hear. I hope the team respects him.

Hope painkiller will be added to Arteta less dey give him heart attack cs he is too young

Nice

I wish him success

Herban1:
Bring back wenger

you guys pushed him out thinking he was the cause of your failures.......
I hope the grass is greener on the other side?

arsenal n useless coaches

This will end in tears for arsenal. Dead club

Congrats to him

Relegation tinz

who are they waitg for?

Rada rada..

Team wey never sabi wetin dey worry dem. So of all the top options in the world, na Arteta dem see employ.. For their mind, dem really think Arteta will be able to control a terrible team like Arsenal? Their eyes go soon clear.

Una flogging no go get part 2. Make i dey watch in 3D sha...

Meanwhile :

Two wrong previous move (i.e Unai Emery and Lungburg). This will be a positive move, I assure you. Time will surely tell

Finally, there I small hope for our dear club
