“I think Arteta would really consider” – Pundit claims Arsenal could launch surprise move to sign Manchester City star

Football pundit Tony Cascarino believes Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta might consider signing Manchester City’s Phil Foden. The former player added that City could let the Englishman leave, having made some fresh signings this summer.

In an analytical discussion on talkSPORT, Cascarino spoke about Foden’s situation at the Etihad, saying (via Football Insider):

He added:

Foden endured what seems to be his poorest run in the 2024-25 season, scoring 10 goals and providing six assists in 45 outings for Manchester City. Meanwhile, the signing of Rayan Cherki might also move Foden down the pecking order on the right-wing.

If the Englishman joins the Gunners, his intellect could enhance their chances of winning the 2025-26 Premier League.

Former Gunners midfielder Ray Parlour has praised Benjamin Sesko, urging the club to sign him ahead of Viktor Gyökeres in the ongoing transfer window.

In an exclusive interview with GiveMeSport, Parlour said:

Sesko has remained a buzzing target for the Gunners this summer, having recorded 21 goals and six assists in 45 games last term. Sesko might also be a cheaper alternative as compared to Gyokeres.

A Manchester United fan who grew up in a family of Red Devils supporters, he started his journey as an ardent football fan in his childhood. He used to spend hours watching the sport with his family and developed a knack for writing about the beautiful game over the years.

He is a huge admirer of Paul Pogba owing to the midfielder’s ability to thread passes from anywhere on the pitch and his favorite manager is Jose Mourinho due to the Portuguese’s tactical mind. He feels France’s triumph in 2018 is his all-time favorite World Cup moment, and reckons Lamine Yamal and Endrick could replicate the rivalry between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
