Former Middlesbrough midfielder Gaizka Mendieta believes Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta have what iy takes to manage Barcelona.
Speaking to BetBrothers, Mendieta has suggested that the Arsenal boss could switch the Premier League for La Liga, even if it is way off in the future.
“Arteta will one day manage Barcelona, I think eventually we’ll see that. Again, the connections are strong. But I think it depends on how he wants to deal with his managerial career, in terms of having his mind set to be there forever, like a one-club man sort of thing.

“Does he really want to experience football in different countries? To be honest, if he is to leave Arsenal, I see him more likely to go abroad than to another Premier League club. So, obviously, I’d say Barca would be his favourite next move if he were to leave Arsenal.
“To be honest, I don’t know what’s best. If he wins, he will leave. If he doesn’t win, he will leave. I don’t know. If he wins, he might continue to increase the number of trophies.
“We would have to be in Arteta’s head to think what he wants to do in the future. But for me, I see him more on the long term, as long as possible to stay at Arsenal, rather than moving somewhere else, than leaving any time soon.”
