Mikel Arteta suggests Arsenal follow Manchester City multi-club model to attract best young stars Mikel Arteta believes Arsenal should explore the multi-club model so they can bid to sign the best young talent in the world.

English sides cannot sign players from overseas until they are 18, when previously there had been an exemption for 16 to 18 years olds in the European Union and European Economic Area.
“So, that restriction in the country has provoked that many other clubs have now, like sister clubs or multi-club systems to be able to do that.
New rules enforced by Brexit have made it harder for Premier League clubs to bolster their academy with talented youngsters.
