According to reports, Manchester City are plotting an ambitious double transfer swoop to bring two of Arsenal‘s biggest stars to the Etihad Stadium this summer.
As per the Mirror, the Sky Blues are eyeing moves for both Alexis Sanchez and Jack Wilshere, with incoming coach Pep Guardiola understood to see the pair as key parts of his plans to rebuild the Citizens.
Indeed, the tabloid go as far as to suggest that the departing Bayern Munich manager is considering England international Wilshere as the man around whom he wants to build the City midfielder.
Should the rumours be true, it would be a major gamble on the part of Guardiola.
While Sanchez would be a dazzling addition to City’s forward line, Wilshere is a player who carries a lot of baggage.
