Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has been advised to stay at the Gunners and make them a European powerhouse before leaving the club. The Spaniard's success in north London this season is bound to not go unnoticed around the footballing world with a possible return to Barcelona as manager in the future potentially on the cards.
In November 2022, Arteta was named in a report by SPORT as a possible long-term replacement at Barcelona for current boss Xavi. However, when asked about the rumour, Arteta delivered a firm answer: "What I can say is I am happy and proud to be where I am."
Since his response to talk of a managerial role at Barcelona, the Gunners have continued their fight towards the Premier League title. With just eight games remaining, Arsenal sit top of the league table clear of Arteta's former employers Manchester City by six points.
