Fans react to Arsenal’s audacious loan bid for Eric Bailly

Arsenal have reportedly attempted a cheeky bid to sign Manchester United defender Eric Bailly.

Daily Mail are reporting that The Gunners want to take the Ivorian to north London for the rest of the season in a loan deal.

Arsenal are in need of defensive reinforcements after Hector Belerin was injured during Saturday’s victory against Chelsea. The Spaniard is out for at least six months due anterior cruciate ligament damage to his left knee.

The Gunners have not looked great at the back this season, conceding 32-goals from 24-games.

Bailly has suffered with injuries himself.
