Arsenal have been told by Bologna’s sporting director that his side are in no hurry to sell fullback Aaron Hickey amid Premier League interest.
The Scotland international has been heavily linked with a move to the Gunners recently, though Brentford are also reportedly keen on the defender. Southampton has also been cited as an interested party as well.
Hickey impressed in the Serie A last season, making 36 league appearances for Bologna and scoring five, excelling in the left-back role – though also showcased versatility in how he thrived as a wing-back and on the right side of the defence. Arsenal are thought to be preparing to enter talks for the 20-year-old, but they have been sent a stern warning.
