Arsenal move closer to first summer transfer as Man City make major Ilkay Gundogan decision

Manchester City have announced their release list ahead of the new season and it's of significance to Arsenal as Mikel Arteta looks to complete his first signing of the summer transfer window.

Among the four players being let go by the current Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League holders, captain Ilkay Gundogan is included in the list. This will be of interest to the north London outfit as they've been heavily linked with a move for the Germany international.

The Gunners are no strangers to luring players away from the Etihad Stadium having signed both Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko last summer, but the difference is that the 32-year-old would not command a transfer fee due to his contract finishing at the end of the month.
