Arber reportedly tweeted on his personal account on Monday that he had bet on the German international midfielder’s move to Arsenal from Real Madrid in what turned out to be a £42.4m deal.

The Gunners will investigate a potential breach of gambling rules.

“We take this very seriously,” said a club spokesman.

“All Arsenal employees and workers are well aware of their responsibilities in this respect and we are looking into this as a matter of urgency.”

Football Association betting rules do not allow people to bet on any events involving their own club.
