The latter has left to go work for Evangelos Marinakis as part of his multi-club network.
Olabe is leaving Real Sociedad at the end of the season and is very highly rated.
Arteta wants someone who knows the game throughout Europe and will not be limited to knowledge of English players.
Dan Ashworth, Txiki Begiristain and Luis Campos are other contenders for the post.
