Arsenal defender 'is targeted by two European giants' after slipping down the pecking order under Mikel Arteta

An Arsenal defender is reportedly the subject of interest from two European clubs after falling out of favour under Mikel Arteta.

The player in question was able to feature regularly throughout last season but may move elsewhere to seek more regular first-team football.

He was also an unused substitute during the Gunners' Premier League opener as they beat Manchester United 1-0 at Old Trafford on Sunday.

Reports are now linking him with a move away from the Emirates Stadium before the summer transfer shuts on September 1.
