With the contract of Bacary Sagna running out this summer, Arsenal have already lined up his replacement in the form of Serge Aurier from French club Toulouse.
According to reports, Sagna will snub a new deal in the summer, alerting Arsenal to find an effective successor. Arsenal do have Carl Jenkinson but he seems to be inapt for Arsenal’s quality as does left-back Nacho Monreal. A possible bid of £15 million seems to be enough to prize the right back away from Toulouse.
Aurier also seems to be very keen on a move to the Gunners, as he is doing little to prevent any speculation from rising. He said: ” You cant refuse an offer from Arsenal-it would be a dream”.
Being described as the ‘Dani Alves of ligue 1’, Aurier has been praised for his strong performances this season and he seems like a suitable replacement for Bacary Sagna.
