Real Sociedad skipper Xabi Prieto admits speaking with Arsenal captain Mikel Arteta about new coach David Moyes.
Arteta is a former Real player and worked with Moyes at Everton.
"He's a coach with a great track record," Prieto told Marca. "He spent eleven years at Everton and signed with a very big club like (Manchester) United, although it didn't go so well.
"I talked with Arteta who played under him for many years at Everton, and all he had to say was good things about him.
"He (Mikel) told me that he is very demanding and committed to making good relationships with his players. We will try to make him feel comfortable as soon as we can here and hopefully that will allow him to help the team grow.
"It's clear that football in England is different to over here, but hopefully he can adapt quickly and we can get to learn the nuances he will bring here. Most of all, it's important for us to feel the benefit of his arrival."
