Arsenal are preparing to kick-start their Summer of spending by offering Manchester City £10million for midfielder James Milner.
The Englishman is growing frustrated at the lack of first-team opportunities at the Etihad Stadium, and with plans to strengthen the squad ahead of next season, a transfer away could be the likely option for the former-Aston Villa man.
Despite breaking the Financial Fair Play rules and being fined already, City are still keen to add to their side this pre-season, and will try and balance their books by allowing players to leave.
However, it appears the three main players leaving are all English, as Milner could be joined by Joleon Lescott and Micah Richards, and this would affect their UK-based players registration.
Due to starting just 12 league games this year, Milner is desperate to leave the club and has reportedly already handed in a transfer request, with Arsenal, Liverpool, Everton and Tottenham all interested.
