Everton’s Spanish playmaker Mikel Arteta is being heavily linked with a move to Manchester United during this summer’s transfer window.
Arteta still has two years left on his current contract at Goodison Park and Toffees boss David Moyes would be loathed to lose one of the star men in his squad.
However, it appears that Red Devils chief Sir Alex Ferguson is set to try his luck with a £10million offer for the player, while Arsenal and Manchester City are also said to be very keen.
City would probably be able to outbid United and the Gunners, but they soured relations with Everton following last summer’s capture of Joleon Lescott and Ferguson would no doubt try and use his good friendship with Moyes to swing a deal if the Merseysiders did decide to sell Arteta.
