Unfortunately for the Portuguese defender, the switch to the Bundesliga did not result in a permanent deal as Thomas Tuchel allowed the 29-year-old to return to City.

Pep Guardiola reintegrated Cancelo during pre-season but since the competitive action began, the full-back has not featured in a matchday squad. 90min reports that Arsenal will now reignite their interest.
