Arsenal have identified former Manchester City defender Eric Garcia as a key summer transfer target - just months after he rebuffed an approach from the Londoners in the New Year.
The Gunners are currently in pole position to end their agonising 19-year title drought but are already sketching out plans for the summer in a bid to sustain their recent progress next season.
And while it remains to be seen whether or not Mikel Arteta can pip his old mentor Pep Guardiola to the Premier League crown, the Spaniard's plans to pinch Garcia from Barcelona would certainly rub salt in the Manchester City chief's wounds.
