Gunners great Ray Parlour likens future debate to Arsene Wenger\u2019s Real Madrid rumours"},"content":{"rendered":"

Arteta\u2019s contract, as it stands, only runs until the summer of 2027. An extension to those terms has been mooted – with many tipping the San Sebastian native to emulate Wenger by passing a decade in the dugout<\/a> – but could he be tempted to move on if an enticing offer from elsewhere were to be tabled?<\/p>\n

Given his ties to Barcelona, should the Liga giants be a source of concern<\/a> to those at Emirates Stadium? When that question was put to Parlour, the \u2018Invincibles\u2019 squad member – speaking on behalf of 10bet, who offer punters sign up offers<\/a> – told GOAL: \u201cI think it’d be a little bit like Arsene Wenger. There were lots of rumors he was going to Real Madrid, but he was a very loyal man.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe knew what he was trying to do at Arsenal; maybe he stayed past his time in the end, but at that vital stage with the moving stadiums and whatever\u2026 and I think Arteta could be similar.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don’t know what Mikel Arteta is thinking. I don’t know what his club was growing up or what club he wanted to manage – you\u2019ve got dreams sometimes as a manager – so if an opportunity comes and he can’t turn it down, we’ll have to wait and see.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I still think there’s a lot of work going forward for Arsenal to be very successful – maybe not as successful as Man City, but to challenge for trophies every single season – and he can be part of that and part of making history for the club. I’m sure he wants to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Arteta\u2019s contract, as it stands, only runs until the summer of 2027.
