Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal have made a bid for Udinese right-back Nahuel Molina and want to sign him in the summer transfer window, according to Marca.

Marca have reported that Arsenal and Juventus have made ‘important’ bids for the Argentina international right-back.

Atletico Madrid are also keen on securing the services of Molina, according to the report in the Spanish media.

Takehiro Tomiyasu is the first-choice right-back at Arsenal at the moment, and that is not going to change anytime soon.

However, the Gunners need cover for the Japan international right-back.

Tomiyasu has injury problems in the second half of the season, and Arsenal could have done with a quality right-back.

Such as Nahuel Molina.

Molina is 24 now and is an established Argentina international.

The former Boca Juniors star made 31 starts and four substitute appearances in Serie A this season.

Molina scored seven goals and given two assists in those games.
