But City included a buy-back clause in the deal which they are reportedly considering triggering.

Pep Guardiola was said to be hesitant to let the star leave in the first place but they had to after they failed to secure a work permit.

Mikel Arteta is said to be keen on the former Vasco da Gama star having worked with him when the pair were together at City.

The Gunners are looking to bring in midfielders this summer with Matteo Guendouzi and Lucas Torreira seemingly on their way out.

Atletico Madrid star Thomas Partey has been linked with a move to the Emirates.

And the North Londoners are also said to be in discussions about extending Dani Ceballos’ loan from Real Madrid for next season.
