Arsenal are reportedly ready to rival Chelsea for the services of Lazio Roma defender Stefan de Vrij, while the Gunners are also keeping an eye on PSV Eindhoven's Matthias Verreth, the latest in a long line of Belgian talents.
According to TalkSPORT (h/t Goal), De Vrij and Lazio aren't making a lot of progress in contract negotiations, and with his current deal set to expire in 2018, Chelsea and Arsenal are taking note.
The Blues have been linked with the former Feyenoord man before, and given their current lack of depth options, their interest makes sense.
