Arsenal are in the race to sign Manchester City captain Ilkay Gundogan ahead of the summer transfer window, with his contract set to expire in the coming weeks. The Gunners are looking to revamp their midfield ranks in the coming weeks in an attempt to close the gap between themselves and City in the title picture.
football.london understands Declan Rice is a top priority for the north London outfit in the coming weeks, though his future is unlikely to be decided until after West Ham's Europa Conference League final against Fiorentina later this week. Moises Caicedo and Mason Mount are other names linked alongside a switch for Gundogan.
The Germany international's agent, Ilhan Gundogan, spoke out on his current situation and gave some hope to the Gunners that a deal can be struck. He told Fabrizio Romano: "Nothing has been agreed with City or any other club. The recent reports are not true. Ilkay is only focused on the final."
