Arsenal is interested in acquiring Joao Cancelo from Premier League rivals Manchester City during the summer transfer window, according to Football Transfers.
According to the report, Mikel Arteta, the manager of Arsenal, wants to keep Kieran Tierney.
Oleksandr Zinchenko was frequently preferred over Tierney, a Scotland international, when playing left defender last season.
Cancelo, who will leave treble winners City in the summer transfer window after spending the second half of last season on loan at Bayern Munich, is said to be a player who Arsenal boss Arteta “remains a big fan” of, according to Football Transfers.
The “outstanding” Portugal international full-back who earns £180,000 per week (SalarySport) is intended to be used by the Spaniard at right-back.
Joao Cancelo should be acquired by Arsenal from Manchester City.
We think Arsenal should take advantage of the opportunity to buy Joao Cancelo from Manchester City.
Cancelo, who is now 29 years old, is now at the height of his game.
The former Juventus player, in our opinion, would improve Arsenal.
Cancelo is versatile and can play on either flank as a full-back or wing-back.
Though Ben White, a former Leeds United loanee, excelled at right back last season, he is a center-back by trade.
