Arsenal have been linked with a move for RB Leipzig defender Benjamin Henrichs. The club have already moved to reinforce their defensive options for an agreement for Ajax’s Jurrien Timber with the final details of the move being sorted before an announcement.
The reported link to Henrichs is therefore an interesting one with Timber certainly capable of operating as a right back if need be. The Dutch international has however had his struggles in the role and instead might be solely considered as competition and cover for William Saliba.
What Henrichs would offer is something different. Ben White, Takehiro Tomiyasu and Timber are certainly more so the centre-halves operating in the full-back area and subsequently have stronger defensive traits although White in particular has improved in the final third drastically.
