PSG contact Mikel Arteta over the managerial position

Arteta is leading the current crop of young managers who have changed the Premier League scenario over the last few years. He had almost guided the Gunners to the Premier League title in the recently concluded season, but Manchester City's stupendous form proved too hot for them as Pep Guardiola's men made a hat-trick of English titles.

Arteta was rewarded with a new contract as the North Londoners want him to continue the project which he started at the Emirates Stadium. As reported by RMC, PSG sporting director Luís Campos has sounded out the Spaniard on whether he wants to venture into a new challenge.

But the Arsenal manager is unlikely to switch his allegiance, as stability could be an issue. The French club has been looking for their fourth manager in the last five years as they have been on a managerial changing spree. PSG was also interested in bringing former Bayern Munich manager Julian Nagelsmann, but those talks did not go forward.
