Arsenal join chase for unsettled Roma star
Arsenal have reportedly joined the chase for AS Roma defender Mehdi Benatia after he rejected a new contract from the Italian club, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.
The Moroccan international has been linked with the likes of Chelsea, Manchester United and Bayern Munich as well this summer, but has become the Gunners’ first choice to replace Thomas Vermaelen in defence.
The 27-year-old was one of the best defenders in Europe last season and Roma could now be open to selling him to Arsenal for around £30m.
