Arsenal are having a serious attack on the transfer window this summer. Players in all four areas of the field have been targeted, with three already secured and more expected. Lisandro Martinez is the primary defensive target for the side, with the Ajax man able to play in as many as three different roles.
According to The Mirror, both Arsenal and Manchester United have met with the player’s representatives. The talks outlined the potential cost being far higher than the initial first bid that was rejected by Arsenal at around £25 million.
It will cost the clubs getting on for double this amount, at £42 million, to secure the Argentine for the team next season. A £17 million increase on what Arsenal were initially willing to pay is a serious step up for the club to reach.
