Arsenal considering surprise swoop for former Manchester United star this summer

  • Feb 18, 11:16

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has reportedly made signing a former Manchester United defender a priority heading into the summer transfer window.

According to a report in the Metro, Arsenal quite fancy signing Daley Blind from Ajax, with the former United man almost certain to depart the Amsterdam-based club this summer with plenty of interest from around Europe.

Blind was highly-impressive last season in leading Ajax to a Champions League semi-final, as well as a league title, and with an exodus of star talent expected from the club in the summer, the Dutch international is expected to be one of them.

The report states that Arsenal have ‘expressed interest’ in signing Daley Blind, but competition for his signature is expected to be fierce.

Blind signed for United in 2014 for a fee around £13 million, leaving in 2018 in a transfer valued at £18m.
