Euro Paper Talk: Arsenal to go after Dortmund ace after sealing Saliba transfer Unai Emery will go after another centre-back after wrapping up a deal for William Saliba, while Paul Pogba’s move to Real Madrid hits a snag, all in Wednesday’s European papers. ARSENAL CHASING TWO CENTRE-BACKS Arsenal boss Unai Emery will reportedly head straight back into the transfer market to sign another centre-back once he wraps up a deal for William Saliba. According to widespread reports Arsenal are edging closer to a £26.5million deal for the 18-year-old Saint-Etienne man. The BBC report the payment will be in instalments and the player will be loaned back to the French side for this coming season. That means Emery still needs a dominant defender to go into the side and Sport Bild report that Arsenal remain interested in Borussia Dortmund defender Dan-Axel Zagadou. The German outlet claimed last month that Zagadou impressed Arsenal at the Under-20 World Cup where he captained France. Bild claimed the 20-year-old, who made 19 appearances for BVB last season, wanted to leave Dortmund and the Gunners remain keen. KLOPP UPS PURSUIT OF SPAIN STAR Liverpool have once again made it clear that they are interested in signing Real Madrid playmaker Marco Asensio, a report claims. It has been claimed in the media that the LaLiga giants are willing to listen to offers for their 23-year-old schemer this summer, something which caught the attention of a number of top clubs. Liverpool were apparently alerted to reports Asensio could be available for £131million (€150m), and Manchester United have also been credited with interest. It was even speculated that Asensio could be included in a swap deal for Liverpool star Sadio Mane, however reports from Spain now suggest that the Reds are going for an outright purchase. According to Don Balon, Klopp is a ‘personal fan’ of the Spain international and has asked Los Blancos to name their price. The report does state though that Real could potential demand as much as £135million to facilitate a summer exit, unless Liverpool were willing to discuss a swap deal involving Mane. Asensio struggled to find consistent form last season, amassing just one goal and four assists in 30 LaLiga appearances.

Unai Emery will go after another centre-back after wrapping up a deal for William Saliba, while Paul Pogba’s move to Real Madrid hits a snag, all in Wednesday’s European papers.

 

ARSENAL CHASING TWO CENTRE-BACKS

Arsenal boss Unai Emery will reportedly head straight back into the transfer market to sign another centre-back once he wraps up a deal for William Saliba.

According to widespread reports Arsenal are edging closer to a £26.5million deal for the 18-year-old Saint-Etienne man.

The BBC report the payment will be in instalments and the player will be loaned back to the French side for this coming season.

That means Emery still needs a dominant defender to go into the side and Sport Bild report that Arsenal remain interested in Borussia Dortmund defender Dan-Axel Zagadou.

The German outlet claimed last month that Zagadou impressed Arsenal at the Under-20 World Cup where he captained France.

Bild claimed the 20-year-old, who made 19 appearances for BVB last season, wanted to leave Dortmund and the Gunners remain keen.
