If Arsenal are to bring in a new centre-back during the forthcoming transfer window, Swansea’s Ashley Williams is not the man they should be targeting. Currently, the Gunners have better options available within the squad than the Wales international.
Sami Mokbel of the Daily Mail linked Williams with Arsenal throughout last season. After another consistent campaign with the Swans, he may well have one eye on a move to a bigger club.
The view of must pundits is that Arsenal require strengthening throughout the spine of the team. Former Gunners midfielder Ray Parlour certainly thinks so, and he has identified central defence as an area where an upgrade would be welcome.
