Borussia Dortmund have granted Edu the opportunity to bolster Arsenal's backline ahead of the upcoming transfer window. But, with William Saliba set to return to the Emirates stadium this summer after a successful loan spell at Marseille, Mikel Arteta has a dilemma on his hands — albeit a good one at that.
The Gunners have reportedly been offered the chance to sign Dortmund centre-half Manuel Akanji, who has been told he can leave the club following the sacking of head coach Marco Rose and the recent signings of Niklas Sule and Nico Schlotterbeck. The Sun claim that the Switzerland international's representatives are eyeing a move to the Premier League, with the north London outfit emerging as a potential destination.
Akanji, who has shared the international stage with Granit Xhaka on 33 occasions, featured 36 times for the German side this season and steered the club towards a Bundesliga silver medal. His impressive displays have reportedly attracted the interest of Manchester United also, handing Arsenal stern competition.
