Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta says David Luiz is on track to becoming a future coach.

At 32, Luiz is just six years younger than his boss, and he has been tipped for a bright coaching career by Arteta.

"I think we can get a few (from the current squad), just joking a little bit, but through the process, they are really willing to try and understand the game better and how they can coach as well," he said.

"It is not just myself, but how can they coach each other on the pitch? A lot of them are showing a lot of interest, even if they are 18, 19, 20 years old.

"Obviously, he mentioned to me, David Luiz he wants to be a coach in the future.

"He has started doing his coaching badges already and I can see he has the attributes, the knowledge and experience to be a coach one day."
