Unai Emery could reportedly be set for positive news on the transfer market as Arsenal are said to be close to sealing a deal for St Etienne defender William Saliba.
The Gunners are in real need of reinforcements in that department given their abysmal defensive record in the Premier League last season.
Emery’s side conceded 51 goals in just 38 league games, giving them the second worst defence out of the top nine sides in the standings.
In order to break back into the top four and compete for trophies, they have to find a way to shore things up at the back, and they may well be closing in on a long-term solution.
