Arsenal still need to sign the ideal alternative for Kieran Tierney at left-back, but the player must also be versatile to be available in other positions. Lisandro Martinez seemed to be the main target but a deal now looks to be off.
According to The Athletic, Arsenal's priority was Lisandro Martinez due to the 24-year-old's ability to play at centre-back and left-back. Martinez was reportedly keen on a move to the Emirates Stadium, and Ajax are rumoured to have rejected a bid in the region of £25million.
However, Manchester United have seemed to steal a deal according to the Guardian which means Arsenal must explore alternatives. Evan Ndicka would be the ideal alternative for the Gunners, and Spurs may have given Edu clear access to his signature.
