5 Defenders Arsenal should target in the summer transfer window

#2 Eric Bailly

Is Bailly surplus to requirements at United?

This may come as a surprise to many, but Arsenal have serious interest in the Manchester United defender. Since joining United, Bailly has had mixed performances and he is yet to convince Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and the United board.

Often hit by injuries, Bailly has failed to nail down a regular starting place under Ole and has fallen down the pecking order. According to the Metro, Manchester United are willing to listen to offers for Bailly and if they can recoup the majority of the transfer fees they had paid for him, they would be happy to let him go.

Arsenal are looking at Bailly because of his experience of playing in the Premier League, as he will definitely slot right into their defence. Also, Unai Emery seems to be the right man to motivate him to realize his full potential and play at the level he had shown glimpses of under Jose Mourinho.
