Arsenal plot move to sign €45m Manchester United target in the summer

Arsenal are set to revive their interest in Atletico Madrid’s Saul Niguez, and are pondering to launch a bid in the summer to lure him away from Vicente Calderon.

The Gunners had been in negotiations over the player earlier on in the year, but a long term injury to Tiago Mendes scuppered their transfer plans. The Spanish publication, Mundo Deportivo (relayed by Sport Witness) claim that Arsenal are planning to make a formal move for him again this summer.

Saul has cemented himself as one of the key players for Diego Simeone’s side this season, with the Spaniard gradually developing into a complete midfielder under the Argentine’s tutelage.
