Mikel Arteta
Facts ?
Mikel Arteta Amatriain is a Spanish professional football manager and former player.
Born in San Sebastián, Arteta began his senior career at Barcelona in 1999, but limited playing time led to a loan move to Paris Saint-Germain in 2001.
Arteta represented Spain through several youth levels, but never played for the senior national team.
Born in San Sebastián, Basque Country, Arteta began his football career at Antiguoko and befriended fellow midfielder Xabi Alonso as they played together every weekend.
Despite his potential Arteta failed to break into the first team, and went out on loan to French club Paris Saint-Germain in December 2000.
During a season and a half in Paris, Arteta was used by manager Luis Fernández primarily as a playmaker.
PSG wanted to keep Arteta at the end of the loan period, and did have a 'buy first' option.
Arteta started his second season with Rangers by scoring six goals in the first six games of the season as the club qualified for the Champions League group stages, although they did not qualify from that group and ended the campaign without a trophy.
Arteta returned to Spain after two seasons in Glasgow; he later credited his spell at Rangers as helping him develop as a player, stating "Scottish football was tough, really tough. It was really physical, people got at you and I had to improve on that a lot. I think I did that to get to the level that the Premier League required of me."
Alonso left for Liverpool and Arteta failed to establish himself in the team, starting only three league matches in the half-season he spent back in San Sebastián.

Seen as a replacement for Danish midfielder Thomas Gravesen who had moved to Real Madrid, Arteta played a vital part in helping Everton achieve the possibility of qualifying for the Champions League when they finished fourth in the Premier League; however, they were knocked out by Villarreal in the last qualifying round.
The 2005-06 season saw Arteta pick up both the Everton Fans' Player of the Season and the Players' Player of the Season awards.
Arteta added another accolade to his growing collection during the 2007-08 season, when he picked up the North West Footballer of the Year award.
Arteta suffered a stomach injury in the second half of the season, and shortly before the final game of the campaign, he underwent surgery to rectify the problem.
In February, Arteta was carried off on a stretcher in a 0-0 draw with Newcastle having injured a ligament in his knee, days after his first inclusion in the Spain national team squad. The injury kept him out for the rest of the 2008-09 season and the first five months of 2009-10.
Over the course of the season, Arteta began to play in the centre of the field again, usually being partnered with a defensive midfielder.
Arteta made his return from injury in January 2010 as a substitute in an FA Cup tie against Birmingham City, before starting in a 2-1 home Premier League win against Chelsea.
After early goals in the season, against Manchester United in a thriller 3-3 comeback at Goodison Park, and in a 2-0 win in the Merseyside derby, Arteta suffered a loss of form that would be crucial in Everton's push for a European spot.
