Arsenal: The Gunners have their sights set on a key player from the English national team!
As part of their preparations for next season, Arteta seems to be seriously considering strengthening his defense as well. The player who is considered a main target for the Gunners is Manchester City player John Stones, who became a free agent after leaving Manchester City.

Arsenal are genuinely interested in signing John Stones!
According to The Sun, Arsenal are looking at John Stones as a technically suitable option to replace the injured William Saliba, who is expected to be out of football for five months due to a serious injury. It should be noted that the player suffered a back injury, and it is one of the injuries that are very sensitive and also require special care.
Mikel Arteta knows John Stones inside out, having worked closely with the defender during his time on Manchester City’s coaching staff. That shared history could give Arsenal a distinct advantage should they decide to pursue a deal for the England international.
While talks remain in their infancy, the Gunners are actively assessing their options at the back as they look to fill the void left by a departing squad member. According to Transfermarkt, Stones currently carries a valuation of around €12 million.
