Arsenal and Manchester United appear to be embroiled in a battle to sign Ajax defender Lisandro Martinez this summer. However, the Argentina international’s relationship with new United boss Erik ten Hag could give them the advantage in the race.
Martinez could be one of a few signings in a busy summer for the Gunners. Mikel Arteta has already made quick work to make a number of additions to strengthen his squad after missing out on Champions League football.
Three players have already been confirmed for the next campaign, with Manchester City striker Gabriel Jesus expected to be number four in the coming days. While the Brazilian solves a problem in the centre-forward role, there are still other issues that have to be addressed.
