The Sun has reported why Arsenal are interested in signing Joe Rodon from Swansea City in the summer transfer window.

The report in the British tabloid has claimed that Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea are also interested in securing the services of the 22-year-old central defender.

It has been reported that Arsenal want the Wales international because he has a strong presence on the pitch, “making it hard for opponents to get past him”.

The Swansea defender – who plays with former Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey for the Wales national football team – is valued at £20 million, according to the report.
