Arsenal sent double transfer warning as Liverpool told to hijack 'no-brainer' Mikel Arteta plan

Liverpool have been told to consider signing Arsenal transfer targets Youri Tielemans and Douglas Luiz. The duo, who both see their respective contracts expire next year, were both heavily linked with moves to the Emirates Stadium last month as Mikel Arteta looked to bolster his midfield.
