Piers Morgan on Mikel Arteta:

“I genuinely believe Mikel Arteta is the natural heir to Pep Guardiola in world football. I can’t praise him enough.”

“I see Arteta winning the Premier League with Arsenal soon. If this is Guardiola’s last season, he’ll aim for five in a row — and I truly think he’s now the greatest manager ever, even ahead of Sir Alex Ferguson. Pep is just phenomenal.”

“I always judge managers by how they improve players. Ferguson did it with a shaky squad in his final season at United. Arteta has done the same with players like Martin Ødegaard, who’s thrived under him, and Declan Rice, who’s already elevated his game.”
