Jay Bothroyd has said on Twitter that Manchester City full-back Joao Cancelo would be a good signing for Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal in the summer transfer window.
Former Arsenal academy product Bothroyd has said that he would take Cancelo at the Gunners.
The 41-year-old believes that Cancelo would be the best full-back at Arsenal if he joined the Gunners.
The 28-year-old, who can operate as a full-back or as a wing-back, is on loan at Bayern Munich from Manchester City at the moment.
The £180,000-a-week (SalarySport) Portugal international is scheduled to return to defending Premier League champions City at the end of the season.
According to 90min, Arsenal are interested in Cancelo in the summer transfer window.

Top-quality signing
In our view, Joao Cancelo would be a brilliant signing for Arsenal in the summer transfer window.
Yes, City manager Pep Guardiola decided to let the 28-year-old leave in the middle of the season, but that does not take anything away from the Portuguese star as a player.
Cancelo is one of the best full-backs around, and he is at the top of his game at the moment at the age of 28.
The Portugal international has been superb for the Citizens over the years, and he would be able to make an immediate impact at Arsenal.
Cancelo has scored five goals and created 22 big chances in 98 appearances in the Premier League so far in his career.
