Perhaps with next summer in mind, it seems Arsenal could miss out on a very talented transfer target to Manchester City.

Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal team are🍸 striving to be the best in the league, they’re desperate to finally win a Premier League title again.

But in order to do so, Arsenal will have t🌃o get past Manchester City, as well as the other impressive clubs competing.

And part of that challenge is beating City to players in the transfer market – as they did with the signing of Declan Rice last year.

And with next summer in mind, Arsenal may 💮have to do so again with one of their recent targets willing to move to Man City.

According to his agent, Mamuka Jugeli, Pep Guardiola’s side would be one of a few elite clubs Napoli’s Khvicha Kvaratskhelia would be willing to join.

The £100m forward w🔥as previously linked with Arsenal, even if his price tag might be a challenge.

Speaking to in Georgia, Jugeli did confirm that Kvaratskhelia 🌺wouldn’t go to Saudi Arabia.

He said: “Napoli increased [Victor] Osimhen’s contract, but Khvicha wouldn’t🎶 accept a transfer to Saudi ꧅even if he offered him a billion euros.

“For example, he would probably agree to play for Real ಞMadrid, Bayern Munich, Barcelonaꦑ or Manchester City.

“Khvicha has diꦦfferent desires and goal🐈s: he wants to succeed, and he is already achieving it.”

Of course, it does remain to be confirme𝓡d if Arsenal are still planning a move for the Napoli forward in the future.

Mikel Arteta has bigger priorities

Although Kvaratskhelia would obviously be an impressive signing, Arsenal will have to prioriti▨se elsewhe♔re in the summer.

Despite fan’s desire, it doesn’t seem that a midfielder or a striker will arrive in January, Arsenal simply don’t have the funds available owing to🧜 FFP.

And perhaps Arsenal would be a lot better advised to c🐎ompete with Manchester City fo༒r a £25m midfielder next summer instead of Kvaratskhelia.

Whilst Arteta’s squad is wel♉l constructed, it’s clﷺearly still missing some important profiles.

But it shouldn’t be underestimated just how destabilising the absence of both Thomas Partey and Jurrien Timber has been.
