Atletico Madrid join Arsenal in Tagliafico chase

Spanish giants Atletico Madrid are showing an interest in signing Arsenal transfer target Nico Tagliafico.

According to Calcio Mercato, Atletico Madrid are considering making an offer for the defender, who has been impressing this year.

Arsenal have been linked with Tagliafico, as Emery looks to improve his defensive options.

The Gunners have struggled in the left-back position, with holding midfielder Granit Xhaka filling in at times this season.

Tagliafico joined Ajax in January for a fee in the region of £4m, with the Dutch club likely to want a signifcant profit on that if they were to sell him in January.

He has ammassed 10 caps for Argentina to date, with nine of them coming in 2018.

The 26-year-old has spent the majority of his career to date playing in the Argentinian league, for the likes of Independiente and Banfield.
