Wolfsburg defender Ridle Bake is ‘on the shortlist’ at Arsenal and would be ‘very open’ to moving to the Emirates this summer.

That’s according to journalist Florian Plettenburg, who has backed up that the Gunners are looking at the 25-year-old ahead of the summer transfer window.

Baku has been impressing in the Bundesliga this season, with five goals and an assist to his name in 26 games in the league this season despite playing predominantly as a right-back.

That has seemingly not gone unnoticed and a report earlier this month stated that he was being watched by Arsenal as they look to strengthen in the summer.

Plettenburg confirms that is the case, stating that he has been told the 25-year-old is ‘very open’ to leaving Wolfsburg at the end of the season.

His ‘dream destination’ would be England and the Premier League and that could be on the cards as he is very much on the Arsenal’s shortlist of options.

He would also be available for a relatively low price as his information is that his possible price tag would be ‘around €15m’ despite his strong performances this year.
