Ahead of the 2022/23 season, the 13-time English champions signed Oleksandr Zinchenko and Gabriel Jesus, and now, according to Sky Sports Germany, the 42-year-old is keen on working closely with another former member of the Citizens, Leroy Sane.
The Essen native scored 39 goals and assisted 43 strikes in the 135 appearances he made for the Mancunians, and Arteta was an assistant to Guardiola for a lot of his spell at City.
While he may be familiar with how Arteta works and the Premier League, however, the same report claims that Sane's preference is to stay with his current club Bayern Munich.
