TOP STORY: Arsenal target Bayern defender De Ligt
Arsenal are interested in signing Bayern Munich’s Matthijs de Ligt, says The Athletic.
De Ligt, 24, joined Bayern from Juventus in July 2022 for around €77 million but the Netherlands international has struggled for fitness and could depart in the summer.
The Gunners are looking to bolster their defence and also have Borussia Dortmund’s Nico Schlotterbeck and 17-year-old Ajax defender Jorrel Hato on their shortlist.
Any signing is unlikely in January as Mikel Arteta's side have plenty of options, but a new arrival over the summer is very possible.
