ARSENAL are preparing to interview Mikel Arteta for the final time on Monday night before giving him the reins as manager.
Daily Mail report on the Spaniard having a meeting with non-executive director Josh Kroenke planned following Unai Emery’s sacking last month.
Arteta met with Gunners bosses late on Sunday night as well, following his Manchester City side’s 3-0 demolition of Arsenal that day.
Managing director Vinai Venkatesham and Gunners lawyer Huss Fahmy were spotted leaving the former midfielder’s house at 1am having spent two hours negotiating his arrival.
Bookies have suspended betting on Arteta taking over from interim boss Freddie Ljungberg with rival candidate Carlo Ancelotti off to Everton.
