Arsenal are lining up a summer bid for Lille defender Sebastien Corchia as a potential replacement for Hector Bellerin, according to reports.

Reports in the Goal claim that Arsene Wenger is a longterm admirer of Corchia’s qualities and wants to sign him this summer as he hopes to offload the likes of Mattieu Debuchy and Carl Jenkinson who have fallen out of favour due to the brilliance of Hector Bellerin.
