Arsenal are close to signing AS Monaco star midfielder Geoffrey Kondogbia this summer.
The Gunners are looking to bring in a defensive midfielder as they look to strengthen their defence as they look to challenge Chelsea and compete with Manchester United and Manchester City for the league title.
They have Mathieu Flamini and Mikel Arteta as the first choice players in that position. The two players are above the age of 30 and have failed to create an impact against top teams.
According to Gianluca di Marzio, the North London club’s manager Arsene Wenger is a long term admirer of Kondogbia and wants to bring him to the Emirates as Arsenal look to strengthen their squad.
