Upon hearing this news, Sami Mokbel – The Mail’s chief football writer, suggested that Arsenal may be the team that have made this move for Cancelo, claiming that he knows for a fact that the Gunners have a concrete interest in the player.
Arsenal could’ve made a move
Hope and Mokbel discussed Cancelo’s situation.
“A bit of breaking news here, Barcelona are understood to have late rival interest in Joao Cancelo from a Champions League club, but remain confident of getting a loan deal done from Man City,” Hope said.
“I do wonder if that Champions League club is Arsenal because I know for a fact that Arsenal have a concrete interest in him and they are looking for a full-back. Maybe that’s one we can chase before the deadline and before the five o’clock show,” Mokbel said.
Imagine
Of course, it’s not confirmed that Arsenal are the team to have made this move, but if they have, this could be a blockbuster end to the transfer window.
The Gunners have been linked with the £60m man all summer long, and they could be about to get a last-minute chance to sign him.
This is a story that is going to develop over the next few hours, and there is an outside chance that Arsenal are this mystery club that is in for Cancelo.
That being said, Mikel Arteta has claimed there will be no more signings today, but we’ve heard Premier League managers bend the truth on deadline day before, haven’t we?
