William Gallas claims Mikel Arteta’s decision to sign Raheem Sterling and his subsequent use of him proves he is not a world class manager. Eyebrows were raised when the Arsenal boss turned to a player who had been deemed surplus to requirements by Chelsea on the final day of the summer transfer window.

Mikel Arteta is ready to roll the dice for Arsenal in the transfer window this summer, with the Gunners ready to open talks for a superstar attacker whose stock has plummeted in recent seasons.

Arsenal have reportedly expressed an interest in signing Bayern Munich winger Leroy Sane this summer. The Gunners are expected to pursue attacking reinforcements at the end of the season, with Raheem Sterling's Chelsea loan expiring and doubts over the futures of both Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Martinelli.
