Stephen Ireland has been linked with a summer move to Arsenal Football Club.

Last season bright spark at Manchester City is struggling to establish himself as an automatic first choice this season, as the Blues push for a top-four finish.

Roberto Mancini is expected to sign at least one big-money midfielder at the end of the season, which is likely to see Ireland pushed further down the pecking order.

Reports in the News of the World claim that if Ireland is allowed to leave Eastlands in the summer, then Arsene Wenger will bid to take him to the Emirates Stadium.
