Former Arsenal left-back Gael Clichy believes Mikel Arteta could become the next Arsene Wenger.

Arteta was ecstatic on Sunday after his Arsenal team claimed a 3-1 win over fierce rivals Tottenham Hotspur at the Emirates.

Glichy - who played for eight years under Wenger - believes his former teammate can emulate the Frenchman's long-term success with the Gunners.

"Arteta has so much knowledge and he had the luxury to learn from Pep [Guardiola]," he told BBC Radio 5 Live.

"I really believe in the long term he could be the next Arsene Wenger. He is quite young, and I truly believe, given time, he will prove people wrong."
