Arsenal are reportedly ready to challenge Manchester United for the Roma midfielder.

According to a report from the Sun, Arsenal will challenge Manchester United for the signing of Roma ace Radja Nainggolan, if Luis Enrique is handed the reigns at the Emirates.

The Gunners are expected to be heavily active during this summer’s transfer window, with Arsene Wenger’s 22-year reign in charge of the north London outfit set to come to an end.

The Sun claims that Luis Enrique is favourite to take over from the Frenchman, and if he is appointed as Arsenal manager, his first point of call will be to sign the Belgium international.

Good signing for Arsenal?

Nainggolan is one of the continent’s best midfielders, and his style of play would be perfect for the Gunners.

The 29-year-old is a cultured, orthodox central midfielder, with exceptional technical ability and a wonderful array of passing.

He is cool and composed when in possession of the football, and possesses the ability to dictate the tempo of the game from the middle of the park.

The Sun claim that Arsenal will have to fork out around £45 million if they want to sign Nainggolan this summer, and that would surely be considered as decent value in today’s ludicrously inflated transfer market.
