Mikel Arteta reportedly sees Arsenal transfer target Lisandro Martinez playing at left-back rather than centre-back should he move to the Emirates.
The Gunners had an initial bid in the region of £30million rejected by Ajax before submitting an improved offer of £35million earlier this week, as reported by The Athletic. Ajax are hoping to hold out for a deal closer to £45million for the 24-year-old and Manchester United are rumoured to be in 'pole position' after preparing a new bid for Martinez, according to reports.
Martinez's versatile nature allows him to play at both centre-back and left-back, making him an appealing player for many top sides. Reports suggest that the Argentine defender prefers a move to Old Trafford which would see him play under former Ajax boss Erik ten Hag once again, with the Dutch manager seeing him more as a centre-back.
