Former Arsenal midfielder Mikel Arteta has emerged as the number one candidate to take over Arsene Wenger's vacated hotseat at Arsenal, despite having no managerial experience.
According to Sky Sports, the Spaniard - who has been working as Pep Guardiola's assistant at Manchester City - fits the profile that Arsenal chief executive Ivan Gazidis is looking for.
Gazidis is searching for a head coach to fit into the Gunners' new management structure; it is believed that the club are looking for a less 'hands on' figure at the helm having overseen a modernised staff restructure.
