No players were offered to Arsenal by City bosses, who want to sign the 28-year-old in a cash only deal. The feeling is that City are determined to complete a deal without sacrificing Raheem Sterling or Sergio Aguero, two players Arsene Wenger would like to see go the other way.
David Ornstein, reliable for all matters Arsenal, insists that Arsenal’s stance hasn’t changed, although having agreed to negotiate with City, it seems to have softened somewhat.
