Arteta’s Plea For Moyes Stay
Mikel Arteta believes it is imperative Everton’s board tie David Moyes to a long-term contract at Goodison Park.
The Scottish tactician has 18-months left on his existing deal and as yet, talks have not been forthcoming over an extension. Moyes has been widely lauded for the job he has done on Merseyside, with Everton competing manfully for fourth spot with neighbours Liverpool this term.
Key playmaker Arteta is of the opinion Moyes has performed miracles during his stint at the helm and is desperate to maintain a working relationship with the former Preston boss.
“He has played such a big part in turning this club around from what it was when I came here three-and-a-half years ago, He must take the credit for that and hopefully he’s going to stay. The other night, before the penalties against Fiorentina, he gathered us around and told us that, whatever happened next, he was very proud of us.”
