Arsenal: Arteta 'tempting' Barcelona star to 'betray' Flick with Gunners 'convinced' by 'risk-free' signing

Amid Arsenal's pursuit of Barcelona forward Memphis Depay, the Gunners are reportedly confident in landing the Dutch international.

According to sources close to the club, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is leading the charge in luring Depay to the Emirates Stadium, with the Spaniard eager to add more firepower to his attacking ranks.

Depay has been linked with a move to Arsenal for several months, and the Gunners are said to be 'convinced' that they can secure his services.

The Gunners are believed to be attracted by Depay's versatility and goalscoring prowess, which would provide Arteta with a valuable asset in his bid to improve Arsenal's attacking output.

Depay, who has scored 12 goals in 20 appearances for Barcelona this season, is reportedly keen on a move to the Premier League, and Arsenal are confident that they can offer him the platform to showcase his talents.

The Gunners are also said to be 'tempted' by the prospect of signing Depay on a 'risk-free' deal, as the Dutchman is available on a free transfer this summer.

However, Arsenal are not the only club interested in Depay, with Barcelona's rivals Real Madrid also said to be monitoring his situation.

But the Gunners are confident that they can convince Depay to make the move to north London, with Arteta's persuasive powers likely to play a key role in securing the Dutchman's signature.
