MIKEL ARTETA EYES ASTONISHING DEAL FOR ANOTHER MANCHESTER CITY OLD BOY

Mykhaylo Mudryk's replacement at Arsenal has been discovered, and it's yet another player with ties to Manchester City.

In his search for further offensive reinforcements, Mikel Arteta, the manager of Arsenal, may send a fourth former Manchester City player to the Emirates Stadium.

The summer saw the Gunners add Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko from Eastlands, greatly strengthening their roster.
Although Jesus is presently sidelined due to injury, both have been huge hits in north London, providing the experience and leadership that Arsenal's inexperienced core lacked.


In fact, Arteta's first acquisition as manager also included a former City star.
Despite spending three years on the Citizens' roster, Pablo Mari never played for the team's first squad.
Pablo Mari never played for the club's main squad, but he was a member of the Citizens for three years and went out on loan several times until arriving at the Emirates Stadium via Flamengo in Brazil.

Ferran Torres, who made an impression during his brief tenure at City, could now be chased by Arteta, according to Fichajes(opens in new tab) in Spain.


Torres was acquired by Pep Guardiola from Valencia, but he only played in the Premier League for a year and a half before being snatched away by Xavi to join the Barcelona revolution.
Since then, Barça has signed players like Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski and extended the contracts of Ansu Fati and Ousmane Dembele, making it more difficult for the Spaniard to get playing time than it was when he first arrived at Camp Nou.

The Gunners are seeking a winger who can play on both flanks, according to Sky Sports writer Dharmesh Sheth, and according to journalist Dean Jones, who spoke to GiveMeSport(opens in new tab), Arsenal "obviously believe he might become available."


Torres won't be up for sale in the winter transfer window, in the opinion of Fabrizio Romano, who asserts that Barcelona's "goal is to keep the same squad until the conclusion of the season and then alter some players again." However, Barcelona may be forced to let some of its star players go. The financial tools that allowed them to spend heavily during the summer transfer window, according to Catalunya Radio(opens in new tab), cannot be repeated. Since Torres is one of the more expendable players in Xavi's squad and is still under contract for a sizable sum, the Blaugrana may decide to sever ties.

In just 28 Premier League games for Manchester City, Ferran Torres scored nine goals.
