Premier League rivals Manchester United are reportedly preparing a new bid for Ajax defender Lisandro Martinez who has been linked with a move to Arsenal.
The Gunners have already seen an initial offer in the region of £35million for the Argentine defender rejected by the Eredivisie champions. Both Mikel Arteta and Erik Ten Hag want Martinez in their squad ahead of next season due to his ability to play at both centre-back and left-back, as well as defensive midfield on occasions.
Ajax are hoping to hold out for a deal closer to £45million for the 24-year-old and United are preparing a new bid for Martinez, according to reports. Arsenal have been busy and are expected to announce their fourth signing of the summer transfer window after agreeing a £45million deal for Manchester City striker Gabriel Jesus earlier this week.
