Mikel Arteta was asked to construct an XI from players he’s played with…

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta had a storied playing career across a number of leagues and when asked to construct a team from his former teammates, it was bound to be some XI.

Starting from his time in the Barcelona academy to loan spells at Paris Saint-Germain and Rangers, Arteta has experienced a number of leagues and cultures which stood him in good stead.

Interestingly, even when being asked to name a fantasy XI, Arteta’s managerial instincts kick in and the Spaniard lined up with a 4-3-3 system – and even made sure to include a left-footed central defender.

Also, only one former Arsenal makes the cut from Arteta’s playing time at the club – and it’s not one who we no longer mention around these parts!

Check out Arteta’s team below as he named his ultimate XI from players he’s played alongside while speaking to The F2.
