West Ham United boss David Moyes has explained how "business" has got in the way of him speaking with Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta in recent times.
Moyes managed Arteta at Everton for six years during the Spaniard's playing days before he eventually joined the north Londoners back in 2011. The now-41-year-old retired five years later before becoming the Gunners' head coach back in December 2019.
"You always think the best thing about being a manager is when your career is over and you get a chance to enjoy the players you’ve played with," Moyes said when asked about Arteta ahead of today's clash between their two teams. "I’ve got to say, I’ve had loads of players who’ve been coming to see me at West Ham, come for dinner or they come into the training ground, but Mikel’s on his own career now.
