MIKEL ARTETA is reportedly looking to raid Manchester City

The Gunners thumped Bournemouth 4-0 on Saturday to move to within a point of the table-topping Cityzens in the Premier League.

Arteta already improved his options in the middle of the park with the arrivals of Kai Havertz and club-record signing Declan Rice during the summer.

Now a fresh report has claimed that he is planning to add more depth to his squad by making a move for England international Kalvin Phillips.

The 27-year-old only joined City from Leeds in 2022 but his game-time has been limited at the Etihad.

Phillips, who has played just 161 minutes this term, has only started two top-flight matches under Pep Guardiola.
