Arsenal reportedly want Wolves defender Willy Boly.
According to The Sun, Arsenal are keen on Wolverhampton Wanderers ace Willy Boly, with Unai Emery still eyeing defensive reinforcements.
The Gunners signed David Luiz from Chelsea on deadline day in August, but he and Sokratis Papastathopoulos haven’t exactly looked secure this season.
Rob Holding is back from injury whilst Shkodran Mustafi and Calum Chambers are still at the Emirates Stadium too, but another centre back is still on the radar.
It’s believed that Arsenal now want to sign Wolves ace Boly, having impressed with his displays since promotion to the Premier League in 2018.
The 28-year-old defender has been a real presence in the heart of the Wolves defence since signing from Porto for £10million in 2017, following Nuno Espirito Santo to Molineux.
French-born but recently called up by the Ivory Coast, Boly could be a dominant force in the Arsenal defence, but expect Wolves to put up a real fight to keep.
Boly, who earns around £40,000-a-week at Wolves (Spotrac), is the most dependable player in the Wolves back line, and they’ll be under little pressure to sell.
They’ll certainly be reluctant to sell in January if there is real interest from Arsenal, and Emery’s men will need to cough up big money if they’re to sign the 6ft 5in centre back.
