Sokratis Papastathopoulos on Arsenal's radar
Goal understands that the Greek defender Sokratis wants a new challenge this season. The 29-year-old is eager to test his skills in the Premier League, something that has put Arsenal on high alert. The Gunners want a central defender this summer and might decide on bidding for the Borussia Dortmund man.
Sokratis recently said in an interview, "When you are young you have time to get things, but I am not anymore and I want to win titles," a statement which proves that he is ready for a move away from the German club.
