Arsenal need to improve their defensive options at full-back and at centre-back going into the new campaign. Lisandro Martinez is the Gunners’ main target but a deal is proving hard to compete meaning Edu may need to look for alternatives.
According to The Athletic, Arsenal's priority is Martinez due to the 24-year-old's ability to play at centre-back and left-back. Martinez is reportedly keen on a move to the Emirates Stadium, and Ajax are rumoured to have rejected a bid in the region of £25million.
However, the same outlet has gone on to report that Manchester United have also registered interest in the Argentine with Erik ten Hag potentially being the deciding factor as he previously managed the defender. With a deal potentially being hijacked, Arsenal must explore alternatives, and the perfect option would be Evan Ndicka from Eintracht Frankfurt.
