Arsenal - and a host of others – could be forced to hand over key and sensitive financial information following a demand from Manchester City.
As City’s war with the Premier League continues, Mail Sport understands that lawyers acting for the club have requested that the competition invokes one of its own rules and force a group of clubs which also includes the likes of Brighton and Everton to provide detail on loans they have received from their owners.
City want to then use the information in their latest battle with the competition over its amended rules on sponsorship deals.
