Arsenal have reportedly asked for Sergio Aguero in any swap deal (Getty)

Arsenal fans have been reacting to the sensational transfer rumour involving Sergio Aguero.

Reports suggest Manchester City have offered Raheem Sterling as part of a deal for Gunners striker Alexis Sanchez.

But it seems Sterling isn’t the player Arsenal want – instead they’ve asked for Aguero.

It would be an incredible deal if it were to happen, but it seems highly unlikely it will despite long-running rumours that Pep Guardiola is not totally convinced by his Argentinean striker.

As such, Arsenal fans have been reacting to the reports with amusement rather than expectation.

Following Arsene Wenger’s decision to bench Alexandre Lacazette for Danny Welbeck at the weekend, many have quipped that he could do the same thing with Aguero.

Some fans are simply asking why, even if Man City sanctioned the move (which they reportedly won’t), Aguero would want to move to Arsenal.
