Arsenal are 'monitoring the progress' of young Stevenage full back Luther James-Wildin, as they look to address their long-standing issues in defence.
Unai Emery has had a nightmare with his right back berth at Arsenal so far. First choice Hector Bellerin remains a long term fitness concern and is set to miss at least six weeks of the new season with a cruciate knee ligament injury.
This leaves Emery with Carl Jenkinson and Calum Chambers as his senior options at right back. With Jenkinson's ability at the top level something of a concern, Chambers' versatility across the back four could be used to plug a hole in the position.
