Fernandinho has already given his verdict on Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta as Man City exit confirmed

Arsenal are on the hunt for a new midfielder this summer with Wolves ace Ruben Neves reported to be the Gunners' top target. But they are not the only member of the so-called big six who will be looking to bolster that area as Manchester City legend Fernandinho confirmed he would be leaving the Etihad Stadium this summer.

The Brazilian will have spent nine years with the club come the end of the season, moving from Shakhtar Donetsk in the summer of 2013. In the time since, he has won four Premier League titles, an FA Cup and six Carabao Cups. City have been linked with a number of high-profile midfield stars ahead of the summer including Declan Rice.

The past couple of campaigns have seen Fernandinho's game time diminish slightly, with Pep Guardiola turning to Rodri instead on a more regular basis. This season has seen the 36-year-old appear just 13 times in the Premier League and it is easy to see why he feels the time is right to move on.
