Arsenal have been linked with a January move for Benfica left-back Alejandro Grimaldo, though they are said to face tough competition from four of Europe's biggest clubs.
After allowing Nuno Tavares to leave on a season-long loan to Marseille, the Gunners currently have two first-team players who can play at left-back in Kieran Tierney and summer signing, Oleksandr Zinchenko. The duo have been in fierce competition with each other already this season, with Zinchenko just pipping the Scotsman when both are fit to play.
Nevertheless, Mikel Arteta could benefit by playing both in the same lineup in the future. Part of the Spaniard's long-term intentions for Zinchenko is to field the Ukrainian in midfield, just like he already does with his national team.
