Arsenal left-back Gael Clichy is close to wrapping up a move to Manchester City, according to the Guardian.
Gael Clichy Close To Manchester City Move: Reports
The Frenchman has only a year left to run on his contract, and a move to Liverpool had been rumoured, but it appears Roberto Mancini has chosen to seal the deal to give more competition to a position where Aleksandr Kolarov and Wayne Bridge have failed to shine.
The deal for the 25-year-old is expected to be around £7m, and will allegedly be completed when personal terms and a medical are finalised. The move will be another setback for Wenger, as Clichy may be one of several Arsenal players to leave the club this summer as their contracts wind down, with the Fabregas and Nasri sagas continuing to rumble on. For Wenger, he will now have another difficult replacement to find in what will be a hugely important transfer window for The Gunners.
