Arsenal chief Josh Kroenke drops Mikel Arteta appointment hint as he jets back to USA

Spanish coaches Rodolfo Borrell and Domenec Torrent, who are also both at City, have been linked with following Arteta to the Emirates.

After Emery was sacked the club made the decision to promote Freddie Ljungberg from assistant coach to interim manager.

And while the Swede had only managed to win one of his five games in charge, the Arsenal hero is expected to be kept at the club following Arteta’s appointment.

Arteta was in Guardiola’s dug-out for City’s 3-1 away win over Oxford United, which saw them progress to the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night.
