Mauricio Pochettino picks Mikel Arteta in his ultimate five-a-side team

North London neighbours Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur remain eternal city rivals, and it seems those affiliated with both sides never want to have anything to do with one other.

However, Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino has put bitter rivalry aside when naming his ultimate five-a-side team, reserving a spot for former Gunners midfielder Mikel Arteta.

The Manchester City assistant manager spent the 2001-2002 season on loan at Paris Saint Germain from Barcelona, but he did just enough to convince former teammate Pochettino and earn himself a spot in his five-a-side team almost two decades later.
