Arsenal are reportedly looking to sign Stephan Lichtsteiner from Juventus this summer.
According to claims from the Guardian, new Gunners boss Unai Emery has identified the experienced full-back as a target, with the Spaniard looking to bolster his defensive options.
Lichtsteiner’s contract with Juve expires in the coming weeks, meaning that he will be available on a free transfer. This is likely to be of interest to Arsenal as, according to reports, they have been limited to a £70m budget this summer.
The 34-year-old is an established international for Switzerland and is a key man for his country. Lichsteiner will be hoping to captain his side to a successful World Cup campaign this summer.
Arsenal currently have Hector Bellerin at their disposal but it seems Emery wants to add further quality to his options at right-back, with Lichtsteiner lined up.
Borussia Dortmund had been previously linked with a move for the experienced defender but, if the Guardian are to be believed, Arsenal have stolen a march on the Bundesliga side.
