‘For Clutch Moments And Squad Depth? Hell Yeah’ ‘Not Happening’ Arsenal Fans React To Ornstein’s Latest Transfer Update

Arsenal are “trying to sign” Manchester City captain Ilkay Gundogan, according to The Athletic‘s David Ornstein.

The journalist claims that manager Mikel Arteta is the one driving the Gunners’ interest in the German international, who could be available on a free transfer this summer if he opts against signing a new contract with his current club:


While most fans on Twitter agree that Gundogan would be a good addition to the squad, some don’t believe that he would swap the Etihad for the Emirates:

A lot will depend on whether City and Gundogan can reach an agreement over a contract extension. Reports suggest that the 32-year-old is keen on getting more than a 12-month deal and he could leave if he doesn’t get a better offer.

Barcelona are also known to be keeping tabs on the midfielder, and it remains to be seen whether Arteta has the pulling power to keep him in England were a departure from City to happen.
