Watch the video above as Pep Guardiola appears to encourage Arteta to get off his phone, with the Spaniard looking a little distracted by whatever messages he was reading.
Unsurprisingly, this has led to talk on Twitter of Arsenal being in touch with Arteta about replacing Emery.
The 37-year-old would surely be a very risky appointment, though in fairness it’s hard to imagine AFC being any worse than they have been in recent games under Emery.
