Arsenal to compete with Barcelona for Man City star?

Arsenal could reportedly compete with Barcelona to sign Manchester City defender Joao Cancelo in the summer.

The north London giants currently have Ben White and Oleksandr Zinchenko as their first-choice full-back choices.

Takehiro Tomiyasu and Kieran Tierney are the back-up options but Mikel Arteta may look for a better upgrade.

Tomiyasu is sidelined with a knee injury and reports claim that the Japanese star may not be fit until early October.

Meanwhile, Tierney has been heavily linked with a move to Newcastle United after struggling to nail down a starting spot.

Amidst this, Fichajes claim that the Gunners could swoop for Joao Cancelo, who could be sold for around £35 million.

Cancelo joined Bayern Munich on loan from Manchester City in January but they have no plans to purchase him.

Hence, he will return to the Etihad. Arsenal could go head-to-head with Barcelona to land the former Inter man.

Cancelo can play in both full-back roles and he has 14 goal involvements this term. He could be a regular starter.
