Why Arsenal must complete Joao Cancelo transfer as Edu prepares £92m Declan Rice swoop

Arsenal completed the signings of Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko from Manchester City last summer. Now, Mikel Arteta could be set to raid the Etihad Stadium for yet another one of Pep Guardiola's star players.

Joao Cancelo is the latest City player to be linked with a potential transfer move to the Emirates Stadium - and what a signing it would be for the Gunners. The Portuguese defender joined Bayern Munich on a six-month loan deal back in January after falling down the pecking order in Guardiola's squad.

A report from the Telegraph states that Arsenal are interested in signing Cancelo, although they fear that the Citizens won't be so willing to sell to them this summer following deals to sign Jesus and Zinchenko last summer. The report adds that the Gunners want to strengthen at full-back this summer and could revive their interest in Real Valladolid starlet Ivan Fresneda, if they aren't able to sign Cancelo at the end of the current campaign.
