Arteta to stay at Arsenal

Mikel Arteta’s agent insists that the Spaniard will be staying at Arsenal this summer, even though Athletic Bilbao are keen on making a move. The La Liga side see the midfielder as the ideal replacement for Ander Herrera, who has joined Manchester United.

Reports from the continent claim he could be leaving the Emirates with Arsene wenger looking to re-shape his midfield and Athletic Bilbao ready to pounce. Plus, the 32-year old has only one year left on his current deal and there has been no sign from the Gunners that he will be offered a new contract anytime soon.

Even worse is the fact that there may not be enough room for him in the side, with Wenger chasing Maxime Gonalons and Angel Di Maria, even though the club already has Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Jack Wilshere and Aaron Ramsey. However, Arteta’s agent Inaki Ibanez is adamant that his client has no interest in leaving and that any rumours linking him with a move away are false.

He told El Mundo Deportivo: “This is totally false. Mikel has no interest in leaving Arsenal.”

So, it appears that a move away may not be on the cards after all.
