Arteta Names Okocha and Ronaldinho as Top Teammates
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta identified Nigerian football legend Jay-Jay Okocha and Brazilian star Ronaldinho as the most skilful players he shared a dressing room with during his playing career. In a light-hearted interview with SportBible, Arteta, who played for Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) on loan from Barcelona during the 2001/02 season, stated, “The most skilful?
Ronaldinho or JJ Okocha, both of them. Very difficult to pick one of those two.” Okocha joined PSG in 1998 and became a key player before leaving in 2002, while Ronaldinho arrived from Gremio in 2001.
Arteta made 53 appearances for PSG in his 18-month spell, which he described as crucial for his development. He also expressed admiration for Okocha's flair and technical skills.
Additionally, Arteta shared insights about other former teammates, naming Ronaldinho as the funniest and Mauricio Pochettino as the last to leave training.
