Arsenal are poised to meet the £40m asking price required to sign a star man from their London rivals, while Liverpool and Manchester United are poised to lock horns over a seemingly-outgoing Bayern Munich star, according to Tuesday’s newspapers.
ARSENAL TO MEET WAN-BISSAKA ASKING PRICE
Arsenal lead the way to sign Crystal Palace right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka, according to reports on Tuesday.
The 21-year-old has emerged as a player of genuine quality this season and has already seen his name linked with a move to Manchester City, while Everton and Bayern Munich are also reportedly keen.
However, according to The Sun, it is Arsenal who lead the way to sign a man tipped for future England honours.
The player has apparently been identified as a priority signing this summer with Arsenal officials already telling Palace they are willing to match the £40m price tag set by their Premier League rivals.
And the paper reckons the Gunners have a great chance of landing him too, with the Wan-Bissaka eager to stay close to his London roots.
Palace are already looking at Chelsea prospect Reece James, 19, as a potential replacement. He is currently impressing during a season-long loan stint at Wigan.
