Arsenal have appointed the Manchester City coach Mikel Arteta as Unai Emery’s successor.
Some Arsenal fans are discussing a move for the Manchester City midfielder Phil Foden.
Arsenal appointed Foden’s former Manchester City colleague Mikel Arteta as their new head coach on Friday, just in time for the January transfer window.
The 19-year-old was among those who congratulated the Basque on his new role over Twitter.
And according to some on the social media site, Foden is either about to follow Arteta to Arsenal or would be welcome to do so.
This is what they’re saying…
Foden has appeared 16 times for Manchester City this season, but only six of those outings have arrived from the start of games.
That being said, the Stockport-born talent began the Citizens’ 3-0 win at Arsenal in the absence of David Silva on Sunday.
And it seems unlikely that Pep Guardiola would allow him to leave the Etihad Stadium next month – let alone to a traditional top-four rival.
