Arsenal transfer news: Kostas Manolas open to linking up with Sokratis Papastathopoulos
Arsenal are in the midst of a squad overhaul which has led to Bernd Leno, Stephan Lichtsteiner and Sokratis Papastathopoulos signing on the dotted line.
Another raft of new recruits are likely to come through the door too as Sven Mislintat and Raul Sanllehi throw their weight around in the transfer market.
Freiburg’s Caglar Soyuncu and Juventus’ Medhi Benatia have been linked with moves to Arsenal to partner Papastathopoulos in the heart of defence.
Papastathopoulos’ Greece team-mate Manolas has refused to rule out joining up with him in the future though, potentially putting him on the Gunners’ radar.
