Rio Ferdinand has revealed that he heard rumblings of a major story that could pose major questions for Mikel Arteta's future at Arsenal. The Spaniard is currently loving life in London and sits top of the Premier League but could be angling for a move elsewhere come the summer.
With the potential for a series of high-profile managerial changes at the end of the season, Arteta could be dragged into the mix if Real Madrid were to move on from Carlo Ancelotti. The Italian has been linked with taking over as Brazil's national team boss but set the record straight ahead of Los Blancos' Champions League win against Chelsea.
"You want me to clear up my situation?," he said. "My situation, I have already said it, I don't like to speak about this but I said this in Spain and I repeat here. I have a contract here until 2024 and so I would like to stay in Real Madrid."
