Arsenal 'to battle Galatasaray for £2m Basel centre back Eray Comert' with Mikel Arteta keen to overhaul his defensive options this summer

Arsenal are to go head-to-head with Turkish giants Galatasaray for the £2million signing of Eray Comert, according to reports.

The FC Basel defender has caught the eye this season with the club in contention for the Swiss League title and on the cusp of the Europa League quarter-finals at the time of the suspension due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Basel have managed to keep 14 clean sheets in 2019-20 and Comert has played an integral role in their solidity at the back, something Arsenal have lacked on a number of occasions this season.
