The role Arsenal played in Joao Cancelo's Man City move to Bayern Munich amid Pep Guardiola rift

Joao Cancelo is expected to leave Manchester City before tomorrow's deadline day in one of the most shocking deals to be concluded this month. The full-back has been a regular of Pep Guardiola's side in recent years but is now set to depart the English champions to join Bayern Munich.

Cancelo is expected to join the German giants on an initial loan with a €70million (£61.5million) option to make the move permanent in the summer. The news of his exit has come as a shock across the footballing world after his influence on Guardiola's system since arriving from Juventus in 2019.

The defender has made over 150 appearances for the club, scoring nine and assisting an additional 22. During his time in Manchester, Cancelo has won two Premier League titles and the EFL Cup, whilst also being named in the PFA Team of the Year twice.
