Eric Bailly to join Arsenal on loan. What's your take?
Reports suggest that Arsenal have approached Manchester United regarding a potential loan deal for centre-back Eric Bailly.
Arsenal are keen on signing Manchester United’s Eric Bailly on a loan deal with an option to sign him permanently, according to reports.
Unai Emery is unsatisfied with his current defensive options at the North London club, who have shipped a whopping 32 goals so far in their Premier League campaign
The manager has just been dealt a further blow with the recent injury to Hector Bellerin – who could be out for up to nine months after rupturing an anterior cruciate ligament in the Gunners’ 2-0 win over Chelsea
Bailly appears to be Emery’s favoured choice to come in as a defensive reinforcement due to his experience in the league and problematic situation at United.
According to The Daily Mail, United have already rejected an enquiry from Arsenal for the centre-back.
The 24-year-old was signed by former manager Jose Mourinho in 2016from Villarreal for a fee reportedly in the region of £30m.
Bailly, who has 33 caps for Ivory Coast, enjoyed great success in his first two seasons at the club, winning the League Cup and Europa League in his debut season and finishing second in the league in the follow-up campaign.
However, the Ivorian has not featured much for the Red Devils this season, having made only one appearance under new caretaker manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
The Daily Mail states that Emery is looking to “exploit” the uncertainty over Bailly’s future at United in order to entice him to join Arsenal on loan, with an option to buy in the summer.
Bailly is contracted to stay at Old Trafford until June 2020 on his current deal. Post by www.reddevilarmada.com
