Aaron Ramsey says Mikel Arteta was always destined to be a top manager, and was impressed by the Spaniard during their playing days together.
The pair are good friends, and played alongside each other in the Gunners midfield for all of Arteta’s five years in the squad, before he hung up his boots and pursued a career in management.
Arteta turned 41 over the weekend, and will now aim to steer Arsenal to Premier League glory when they return to action after the international break.
Happy birthday, boss ❤️

Aaron Ramsey Arteta Comments
Aaron Ramsey said: “You could see his leadership qualities and the way that he handled himself was second to none.
“What he is doing now, definitely, you could see he was always going to be a manager one day, the way he thought and saw the game and how intense he was as well.
“It is absolutely unbelievable what he has done there, what they are doing at the moment.
Arteta did his coaching badges with the FA of Wales, and newly-appointed Wales captain Ramsey revealed their conversations about the prestigious academy.
“We used to talk about it and he would tell me how impressed he was with the Welsh setup, their methods and the way that they go about things,
“They have done a fantastic job in producing some top managers and a lot of people are coming through that programme at the moment.”
Ramsey said how much he wanted Arsenal to get over the line…
“It is still a massive part of me,
“I spent 10, 11 years there and for them to go on and win the league, I’m as much a fan as anybody.
“I still know so many players and members of staff there. The fans deserve it.
