Arsenal have recently made contact with Napoli over a deal for star defender Kalidou Koulibaly, and the news has gone down a treat with supporters.
New boss Mikel Arteta is desperate to reshuffle his defensive pack over the next six months, with Koulibaly thought to be the main target to strengthen the club’s backline.
The Gunners have been tipped to make their move in the new year for the 28-year-old, which could cost them around £55m.
@DailyAFC shared the news on social media, which allowed these supporters to react.

Manchester United have also been linked with a move for Koulibaly, so the Gunners could face a battle with their Premier League rivals for the Senegal international.
If Arsenal do manage to pull off a move for the defender, it would be a great start to Arteta’s tenure in charge.
Koulibaly’s aerial ability, leadership and intelligence have earned him the label as one of the best defenders in the top European leagues, so he could take to Premier League life with ease.
