Mikel Arteta (born March 26 1982 in San Sebastian, Basque Country, Spain) is a football (soccer) player. He is an attacking midfield player, currently playing for English Premiership club Everton
He previously played for the FC Barcelona B squad, and had a loan spell with Paris Saint-Germain. He joined Scottish club Rangers in 2002 for £6m where he remained for two seasons, winning the 2003 Scottish Premier League title as well as the Scottish Cup and Scottish League Cup.
He joined Real Sociedad in 2004, but failed to establish himself in the team and was loaned out to Everton in the 2005 January transfer window.
He played a vital part of helping Everton reach UEFA Champions League qualification and after the departure of Thomas Gravesen, Arteta filled the gap left by the Danish midfielder. On 15 July 2005 was signed permanently by Everton for a fee of £2m.
Arteta is also a former Spanish U21 player, and his current form for Everton has been met with calls from manager David Moyes for him to be selected for the full national squad. [1]
