Arsenal are set to bring in Manchester City assistant manager Mikel Arteta as their new boss.

Manchester City's Mikel Arteta

Arsenal fans are hoping that Mikel Arteta can make Leroy Sane his first signing, as he prepares to makes the switch from Manchester City.

The Guardian claim that Arteta will take the Arsenal job in the coming days, as the Spaniard takes his first steps into management.

Arteta could well be looking to make wholesale changes to Arsenal’s squad at the first opportunity, given the Gunners’ lack of form this season.

And Arsenal fans are hopeful that Sane could be persuaded to join him at the Emirates Stadium.

Sane has actually been linked with an exit from City recently, but BILD claim that he wants to move to Germany.

The winger is thought to hold a good relationship with Arteta from their time at City together, and has spoken positively about the potential Arsenal boss in public.

However, whether Sane would be open to a move to North London is questionable.

Arsenal may not have the funds to sign Sane either, as City surely wouldn’t want to let a player of his quality leave cheaply.
