Arsenal 'offered' £20m defender with potential Manchester United summer transfer battle

Arsenal have been offered the chance to sign Borussia Dortmund defender Manuel Akanji, according to reports. The Switzerland international has been heavily linked with an exit from the Bundesliga club this summer, with rivals Manchester United rumoured to show interest.

It comes as the Gunners continue their busy transfer window, with four players making the switch to north London already. Matt Turner, Marquinhos, Fabio Vieira and Gabriel Jesus have joined in deals that have cost a combined £80million.

That total could soon move to over £100million though as the Gunners have reached a £30million agreement to sign Oleksandr Zinchenko from Manchester City. The versatile defender can play at both left-back and in the midfield, offering plenty of options within the squad.
