GOOD MORNING GUNNERS FANS
Arsenal are targeting Manchester City duo Raheem Sterling and Riyad Mahrez, according to reports.
But the title-winning duo are set to snub interest from the Gunners.
Mikel Arteta's side are sounding out the calibre of player that could potentially be recruited this summer.

The Telegraph claims Mikel Arteta is ready to offload several players to raise funds for the England ace.
Everton are holding out for a £50million fee for their star man.
And SunSport understands Carlo Ancelotti would like to sign Calvert-Lewin for Real Madrid.
Finally, Arsenal are edging closer to signing Ben White – leaving William Saliba pondering his Emirates' future.
The Gunners remain favourites to land Brighton's England centre-back White, despite having an initial £40million offer rejected.
Now football.london suggest France Under-20 defender Saliba is 'assessing his options'.
The 20-year-old has already been loaned back to Saint-Etienne, as well as Nice.
And there have been few signs that Gunners' boss Mikel Arteta is willing to give him a serious stab at the first team any time soon.
