Arsenal are looking to acquire a new full-back this summer after issues with both the current backup options in the Champions League run-in. Cedric Soares and Nuno Tavares have both faced issues defensively and offensively since covering.
The number one target is Bologna’s Aaron Hickey. The Scottish international is of big interest to Arsenal, football.london understands. In fact, some reports claim that the Gunners have agreed on a deal in the €20m-€25m range. He would be the third signing after Matt Turner and the likely completion of Brazilian Marquinhos.
At 19 years of age, Hickey is a player who few knew too much about. Yet, Takehiro Tomiyasu has delivered plenty of humblings with his performances this season in spite of how unknown he was prior to Arsenal’s acquisition of the then 22-year-old.
