Manchester City star Aymeric Laporte has previously claimed he has a "really good relationship" with Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta, amid reports of a potential move to the Emirates Stadium this summer transfer window. It comes amid claims that the 29-year-old will be free to leave the Cityzens in the coming weeks.
The Spain international has spent five years at the Etihad Stadium, having joined from Athletic Bilbao in 2018 for a £55million transfer fee. In that time, the defender has racked up 179 appearances for City in all competitions, winning five Premier Leagues, four EFL Cups, two FA Cups, two Community Shields and one Champions League.
The previous season has not been ideal for Laporte though, who only managed 24 appearances across all competitions, less than he managed in the Premier League alone the campaign before. With uncertainty surrounding his future, there's been plenty of interest touted from other clubs.
