Arsenal

Gael Clichy has hailed Cancelo as the best left-back around in recent years amid links to Arsenal. He wants Arsenal to move in for him. He feels that he is best suited at the left-back position at Arsenal.

What Gael Clichy had to say about Arsenal and Joao Cancelo

It has been reported over the past week that the Gunners want to sign the Portuguese full-back from Manchester City this summer. The former Arsenal defender is a huge fan of Cancelo.

Clichy was actually discussing Pep Guardiola’s decision to let Cancelo head to Bayern Munich in January. He labelled the £28m player as easily the best left-back in the Premier League over the past 18 months. Clichy went on to say:-

“They have had the best full-back In Cancelo, over the past year and a half, out of nowhere he moved to Bayern Munich, he was easily the best left-back in that last year and a half, but now he’s moved to Bayern Munich and he can’t get any gametime,”

The report goes on to say that the Gunners want to strengthen at full-back this summer and could revive their interest in Real Valladolid starlet Ivan Fresneda if they aren’t able to sign Cancelo at the end of the current campaign. According to Sky Germany:-

“Even Cancelo himself does not expect to play for Bayern beyond the end of the season. Tendency at this stage: He will leave Bayern in summer but the bosses are trying to find a solution. Option to buy: €70m

Arsenal are among a number of teams eyeing a move for Joao Cancelo in the summer transfer window, according to reports from 90Min. The Portuguese international is currently on loan at German side Bayern Munich. It happened after him falling out with City boss Pep Guardiola earlier on in the season. Whether Pep Guardiola would be open to selling another player to title rivals Arsenal remains to be seen.
