# Arsenal rocked as Man City line up blockbuster triple summer raid

Fear mounts within the Arsenal ranks of the Transfer Tavern this evening following reports from [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/manchester-city-target-triple-arsenal-swoop/) that THREE of their first-team stars could be set for a move to Manchester City.

They [claim](https://www.footballinsider247.com/manchester-city-target-triple-arsenal-swoop/) that City have target Aaron Ramsey and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain for a sensational summer transfer raid on the Gunners as Pep Guardiola touches down at the Etihad.

The Spanish coach is also [thought](https://www.footballinsider247.com/manchester-city-target-triple-arsenal-swoop/) to have lined up long time friend Mikel Arteta as a potential member of his coaching staff, with the 34-year old said to be close to retiring.

The notion of Arsenal selling some of their top British talent in a massive summer overhaul was reported in the [Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3536447/Arsenal-eye-British-talent-homegrown-core-set-ripped-apart-summer.html) of the last couple of days, with both Ramsey and ‘the Ox’ touted as potential victims to a cull.

The latter, an England international, has been [linked](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/alex-oxlade-chamberlain-southamptons-no1-7739539) with a move to former club Southampton after failing to develop as expected during his half a decade in North London.

While Welsh star Ramsey is widely considered one of the best players at the club, there has [reportedly](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3537659/Arsenal-open-talks-Borussia-Monchengladbach-swoop-Granit-Xhaka-Gunners-trying-negotiate-lower-fee-35m-asking-price.html) been a move for Swiss ace Granit Xhaka, opening up the [possibility of seeing the Welshman depart](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3536447/Arsenal-eye-British-talent-homegrown-core-set-ripped-apart-summer.html).

The 25-year old emerged as a top star in the 2013/14 season, though has failed to hit those heights on as regular a basis ever since.

City are [thought](https://www.footballinsider247.com/manchester-city-target-triple-arsenal-swoop/) to be keen on adding both to their ranks in an effort to increase their home grown quota.

**Can you see Ramsey working under Guardiola? Would Arsenal be right to sell the dynamic Welshman?**
