Arsenal players are against their plans to move for Manchester City assistant coach Mikel Arteta.

The Sun says Arteta has been lined up as a potential replacement for under-fire Gunners chief Arsene Wenger.

Wenger is expected to leave the Emirates this summer after 22-years following a disastrous campaign.

But some members of the Arsenal dressing room do not want Arteta to come in and take over.

The 35-year-old is understood to not be popular in North London after five-years at the club.

He is accused of being arrogant and thought highly of himself during his Gunners spell.
