Mikel Arteta has dismissed speculation in Spain that Real Madrid want to bring him in as a replacement for Carlo Ancelotti this summer.
Arteta is leading Arsenal on a wonderful campaign, with the Gunners five points clear of Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table. Arsenal are on course to win their first title since the famous Invincibles side of 2003/04 – and their success has attracted the attention of rival clubs.
Gunners boss Arteta is in his first managerial position after learning the ropes under Pep Guardiola at City. But it seems the progress he has made in north London and style of football he has implemented with a young squad has impressed Real Madrid.
