Arsenal and Manchester United are among the clubs interested in signing Bayer Leverkusen defender Jeremie Frimpong this summer. The Dutchman is seen as having the right qualities for what both clubs are after in the transfer market in terms of a defensive signing.
Frimpong predominantly plays as a right-back for Leverkusen and his speed, matched with his passing ability, makes him an attractive proposition for the Gunners. Arsenal want to sign an ‘offensive’ right-back & are willing to pay up to €40million (£34m) for a ‘development-capable player’, according to SPORTBILD.
A report from Sky Sports underline interest from the north Londoners, United, Barcelona and Bayern - as well as stating that his asking price has been set at €40million (£34m) plus add-ons by Leverkusen as they brace themselves for offers. This matches up to the price tag Arsenal are willing to pay for a defender this summer as they look to add quality cover for Ben White and Takehiro Tomiyasu.
