How Arsenal could line up under Arteta after the January transfer window

Mikel Arteta is reportedly closing in on the Arsenal job.

The former Gunners midfielder, who spent five years at the Emirates, is thought to be in final discussions ahead of becoming Unai Emery’s long-term successor.

Arteta has been learning his trade under Pep Guardiola at Manchester City and was in the opposition dugout on the weekend as City defeated Arsenal 3-0.

If he does take over in North London, it would be the 37-year-old’s first senior managerial role. 

So, with the Spaniard edging closer to a North London return, we’ve decided to take a look at how Arsenal could line up under Arteta following the January transfer window.
