Arsenal have been linked with a surprise move for a Chelsea hero, a transfer that could significantly boost their squad but also spark a feud with manager Mikel Arteta.
The Gunners are looking to strengthen their team in the upcoming transfer window, and the addition of a Chelsea legend would undoubtedly be a major coup.
However, the move could also create tension behind the scenes, with Arteta potentially at odds with the new signing.
According to sources, the Chelsea hero in question is a player who has consistently performed at a high level, despite being in the twilight of their career.
Their experience and leadership qualities would be a major asset to Arsenal, who are looking to push for a top-four finish in the Premier League.
But with great experience comes great ego, and it remains to be seen how the new signing would fit in with Arteta's squad.
The Spanish manager has a reputation for being tough but fair, and he may not take kindly to a big-name signing rocking the boat.
I think it would go the wrong way, said one insider, who believes that the transfer could ultimately end in disaster.
Despite the potential risks, Arsenal are keen to push ahead with the deal, which could be finalized in the coming weeks.
If the transfer does go through, it will be interesting to see how the new signing fits in with the rest of the squad, and whether they can help Arsenal achieve their goals.
One thing is for sure, though: the addition of a Chelsea hero to the Arsenal squad would be a major talking point, and would add an extra layer of excitement to the Premier League.
