Arsenal could be set to provide Mikel Arteta with a more significant team selection headache by acquiring Monaco star Axel Disasi – and the move might upset William Saliba. The defender has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League this summer, with numerous clubs shortlisting the 25-year-old as a target – namely Manchester United.

Arsenal’s lack of defensive depth proved decisive in the title race last season, and the signing of Timber appeared to be the signing required to provide cover across the backline. However, the ex-Ajax star may not be the only defensive signing this summer.

According to The Sun, Arsenal are ready to ‘nip in’ and sign Disasi from under the noses of United this summer – who have identified the France international as a top target. Chelsea and Newcastle are also cited as clubs monitoring his situation.

Axel Disasi

The ex-Reims star is expected to be valued by Monaco at approximately £34million, which could be a small price to pay for further depth and prompting a sudden change of ideas at several rival clubs. However, the signing of Disasi is likely to prompt Arsenal’s current crop of defenders to question where they stand in Arteta’s plans.

Saliba is one of the first names on the team sheet at the Emirates Stadium, but his centre-back partner Gabriel Magalhaes could find himself battling it out to start with his team-mate despite the club being unwilling to entertain bids for his services previously. The pair have formed a solid understanding at the back, with Saliba continuously the praises of his defensive partner when quizzed on his ability.

The arrival of Disasi could potentially disrupt that partnership, with the defender unlikely to commit to making the move to north London over other sides if he is not given guarantees over game time – like he would be able to receive at Newcastle, for example.
