Mikel Arteta has already welcomed five new players to Arsenal this summer, with the Gunners being one of the Premier League's most prominent spenders. Edu has signed Marquinhos, Matt Turner, Fabio Vieira, Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko, but the north Londoners' technical director has shown no sign of slowing down.
Arsenal continue to be heavily linked with a handful of star-studded players; one of whom happens to Bayern Munich talisman Leroy Sane. And, whether it's a coincidence or not, the Gunners could house at least three former Manchester City stars - as the saying goes, 'if you can't beat them, join them'.
The 26-year-old, who sees his contract at the Allianz Arena expire in 2025, spent three and a half years with Arteta at the Etihad Stadium between 2016 and 2019. With a growingly uncertain future at the Bundesliga champions, Arsenal have emerged as a potential suitor for Sane.
