Arsenal have "definite interest" in CL winner Arteta knows "very well"

Arsenal are now showing genuine interest in £21m free agent. Arsenal will continue to show interest in Manchester City's Ilkay Gundogan when he becomes a free agent this summer, Sky Sports reporter Dharmesh Sheth revealed to GIVEMESPORT. The Gunners have been linked with a move for the German midfielder, but Sheth expects Gundogan to have plenty of suitors if he leaves City. One of the criticisms lodged against Mikel Arteta's side throughout their ultimately unsuccessful title challenge, was the lack of experience they held within the ranks. Jorginho did arrive from London rivals Chelsea during the January transfer window for £12 million, with some claiming it could be the transfer that helps see Arsenal across the line. Alas, it proved futile in the end, as the north Londoners gave up their lead at the top of the table, eventually finishing second to champions City. However, having come so close last season, Arsenal look set to target players with the required experience that will be able to take their title hopes to the next level, starting with treble-winning captain Gundogan. It's suggested in a report by The Guardian that Arsenal are among the favourites to land the former Borussia Dortmund star, when his contract expires at the Etihad Stadium.
