The Erling Haaland to Manchester City transfer announcement has not taken Mikel Arteta by surprise and he has revealed how Arsenal are planning to respond to what could be the biggest deal of the summer.
Despite leading the Premier League table and scoring the joint-highest number of goals across the division (89) - ahead of their clash against Wolves - Pep Guardiola's side have already sent out a warning to the likes of Liverpool, Chelsea, Tottenham, Man United and the Gunners ahead of next season by reaching an agreement with Borussia Dortmund to sign the Norway international.
A statement via the club's official website read: "Manchester City can confirm we have reached an agreement in principle with Borussia Dortmund for the transfer of striker Erling Haaland to the Club on 1st July 2022. The transfer remains subject to the Club finalising terms with the player."
