Mikel Arteta is reportedly poised to sign a new contract at Manchester City, with the former midfielder set to miss out on the Arsenal manager's job.
According to Matt Law of the Daily Telegraph, City are keen to tie down Pep Guardiola's assistant for the long term, and they view him as a potential replacement for the current boss at the Etihad Stadium.
"Guardiola and chairman Khaldoon Al-Mubarak were two of the first people on the phone to Arteta when news filtered through that Arsenal had performed a late U-turn and settled on Unai Emery as Arsene Wenger's successor," said Law.
