AS Roma star Kostas Manolas continues to be linked with Arsenal, with the latest reports suggesting the Gunners want the Greece international to replace Per Mertesacker. Meanwhile, Rennes star Paul-Georges Ntep could be the subject of a battle between manager Arsene Wenger's side and Liverpool.
According to Sport (h/t Metro's Tom Olver), Manolas is stalling on signing on a new contract with Roma amid plenty of speculation he could finally be on his way to the Premier League.
The Greece international has been linked with a move to Arsenal for some time now and was one of the most talked about defensive targets during the summer transfer window.
