Arsenal linked with shock move for Eric Bailly
Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly considering respective swoops for out of favour Manchester United star Eric Bailly.
The Ivory Coast international has struggled to force his way into United boss Jose Mourinho’s plans at this early stage of the new season, prompting speculation that he could be on his way out of Old Trafford.
Bailly’s future at United has come under scrutiny in recent months and according to a report from the Mirror, Arsenal could be set to make a January move for the player.
Unai Emery’s men have struggled to keep the goals out already this season despite the summer arrival of Sokratis Papastathopoulos from Borussia Dortmund.
Bailly’s situation at United appears to be a precarious one and with Arsenal and Tottenham reportedly weighing up their options ahead of the January transfer window, it’s claimed that the defender has emerged as a potential target for the North London sides.
The 24-year-old has been out of contention under Mourinho since a haphazard display against Brighton in the second fixture of United’s season.
