Gunners Plot Bid For German Star Defender

20 October 2014 10:11

Arsene Wenger has worked hard to bring excellent players to the Emirates this summer and please the fans. He was, despite, unlucky to lose some important team members to other clubs, such as Thomas Vermaelen and Lukasz Fabianski.

The departure of Belgian captain was a big loss for the Londoners as there is a minimum of defenders at the club. Mertesacker and Koscielny are the only two complete centre backs in the defensive line and one more would be necessary for this season's title fight.

No, I haven't forgotten about Calum Chambers. Although often performing in front of Szczesny, the ex-Saint used to play on the right side at St. Mary's and should continue with covering the same position due to being the only man for that job alongside Mathieu Debuchy.

There's no question about it - if Wenger and co. should make a move for someone, it's Mats Hummels. Apparently the target of both Arsenal and Manchester United, this 25-year-old should go for a hefty fee if he decides to leave Dortmund.

According to express.co.uk., the team from Holloway are preparing a £32 million bid for the World Cup winner, who could be joining one of these two clubs in January next year. Hummels, the captain of Signal Iduna Park team, is more likely to become a Gunner because of many defender arrivals to Old Trafford this summer.
