Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta reportedly wants to sign yet another two Manchester City stars.
The Gunners are familiar with securing talent from their rivals, having signed former Chelsea duo Jorginho and Hai Havertz in successive windows, while they also acquired the ex-City pair of Oleksandr Zinchenko and Gabriel Jesus last season.

It now looks as though that trend could continue, with two Citizens defenders said to be on Arsenal's radar.
According to Mundo Deportivo, the north London team is keen to sign both Joao Cancelo and Aymeric Laporte.
The Portuguese star spent the second half of last season out on loan at Bayern Munich, but that move was not made permanent by the Germain giants. As such, the fullback has been linked with a long list of potential suitors, including Real Madrid and FC Barcelona.
It is suggested that Cancelo's time at the Etihad is all but over, and that there is no way back into Pep Guardiola's squad due to rumoured tension between them.
Laporte, meanwhile, is another likely departure from City after playing a reduced role in the continental treble-winning team of last season.
The French-born Spaniard is said to be looking for more minutes in the next campaign, although it is unclear if he would get this at Arsenal given that the club could reportedly see Jurrien Timber of Ajax Amsterdam arrive soon.

City are also understood to have prepared a huge proposal for RB Leipzig and Croatia defender Josko Gvardiol, causing more uncertainty over Laporte's future at the Etihad.
