Arsenal have made Ajax defender Lisandro Martinez one of their priority transfer targets, in a move which could anger Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag.
The Gunners are busy making moves in the early stages of the summer transfer window and are now reportedly setting their sights on Martinez. The news follows the announcement that Porto midfielder Fabio Vieira will be moving to the club in a deal worth £38million . The 22-year-old will become the club’s second summer signing, after Brazilian forward Marquinhos .
According to The Athletic , Arsenal are not slowing down, with Martinez, Manchester City ’s Gabriel Jesus and Leicester City’s Youri Tielemans three of their top targets. The Gunners have already seen a £25million (€30m) bid rejected by Ajax for Martinez but intend to return with an improved offer soon.
