Arsenal have emerged as potential suitors for out-of-favour Manchester City defender Joao Cancelo, according to reports.

The teenager is yet to sign professional terms with the North London side and cannot do so until he turns 17, with the Blues joining Chelsea in keeping an eye on his situation. Arteta made him the club's youngest-ever player earlier this season at 15 years and 181 days old, but he has not
