Arteta’s side will be in the market for new defenders in the summer transfer window.
As a result, they are looking at one Manchester City player.
Arsenal are interested in a potential summer move for England defender John Stones from Manchester City, according to a report in England. According to FourFourTwo, the Gunners could offer Stones an “escape route” from Manchester City following a difficult spell for the 25-year-old at The Etihad.
The report states that the defending Premier League champions would be prepared to sanction Stones’ sale for the right price following his decline under Pep Guardiola. The Spnish boss has not been convinced by the England international following his inconsistent performances and persistent injury problems.
As a result, Arsenal could be prepared to offer Stones the chance to salvage his career at The Emirates under Guardiola’s former assistant manager Mikel Arteta. The Gunners would need to pay a transfer fee in the region of €50 million to complete a deal for Stones, according to the same report.
Stones has won two Premier League titles and the League Cup three times since his move to Manchester City under Guardiola in the 2016 summer transfer window. The English centre-half has only started 10 of their 27 games in the Premier League this term.
