Arsenal target told he can leave Nou Camp

North Londo outfit Arsenal have received a major boost after learning that their major defensive target Samuel Umtiti will be available in the coming summer transfer window.

Samuel Umtiti has been on the radar of a number of teams including Man United who are his long-term suitors and Juventus but the Gunnera team are tipped to be favourites as they are reported to have established contact with the player’s camp.

Samuel Umtiti is no longer favoured in the Spanish La Liga outfit Barcelona and has been told that he is no longer needed at the club.

This remains a blessing to the Gunners as they have been having it very bad in their defence and they are the biggest side in the English Premier League to have conceded the highest number of goals as a result of their shaky defence.

This, therefore, means good news to the team knowing that he would be available in the summer transfer window.

However, Barcelona are reported to have identified Italian Serie A outfit AS Roma defender Kostas Manolas as a replacement for Samuel Umtiti.

Suggestions are that the World Cup winner will have the choice to make but his nod for the Gunners team will be largely depended on the Arsenal’s qualification to the Champions League or not.
