PSG have made a surprise approach to Mikel Arteta in an attempt to lure the Spaniard away from his beloved Arsenal this summer.
Arteta has impressed as Arsenal boss since leaving Manchester City in 2019 and he was unlucky to just lose out to his former club this season in the Premier League title race.
With the Spanish boss creating such a strong team at Arsenal this season, PSG have approached the 41-year-old over a potential move to France this summer.

Despite the Ligue 1 champions’ interest, Arteta’s sole focus remains on Arsenal as the boss reportedly turned away any interest straight away.
Although they weren’t able to win the league, securing Champions League football was a huge milestone for Arteta’s side who return to Europe’s top competition for the first time since 2017.
It would be a huge surprise to see Arteta leave the Emirates this season with the prospect of European football on the horizon.
Arteta has also been making plenty of moves in the transfer market, as Arsenal seem to have a long shopping list this summer including the likes of Kai Havertz and Declan Rice.
