Even with the arrival of William Saliba from Saint-Etienne, Arsenal are still on the lookout for a new centre-back.
That’s what the transfer rumour mill would have you believe, and enough of them have been linked with a move to Emirates for it to have some legs.
While Pablo Marí could still be bought, a new arrival is expected in the summer, but the big question remains: who will it be?
According to Le10 Sport, one of the players on the list to take that coveted spot is Borussia Mönchengladbach’s Nico Elvedi.
The Switzerland international has grown from strength to strength over the past few seasons, and with a contract running out in 2021, this summer could be his last at the Bundesliga club.
Le10 Sport in France explain Gladbach could sell him if they don’t manage to get him to extend his current deal, and two clubs in Europe have ‘started to clearly look’ at his situation in Arsenal and Bayern Munich.
That’s all they give us, but seeing as he’s tall and good on the ball (we’re poets and we do know it), he fits the mould of what Premier League clubs are looking for these days.
And if there’s one club that appreciates good technical abilities throughout the squad, whether it be up front or in the back four, it’s certainly the Gunners.
