#3 Arsenal interested in loaning Eric Bailly

Brighton & Hove Albion v Manchester United - Premier League

The first signing of Jose Mourinho's United tenure, Eric Bailly, had impressed significantly in his first and sole season with Villarreal to convince the Portuguese to sanction his £30 m purchase from the LaLiga outfit.

Despite getting off to a bright start and proving his worth, a serious injury in his second season limited the Ivorian's impact and he has struggled to cement his starting place since then.

The 24-year-old has made just one appearance till date under Ole Gunnar Solksjaer till date with reports emanating that the club hierarchy are undecided over whether to offer him a contract extension or not.

Arsenal are reportedly interested in bringing the center-back on loan to The Emirates, according to The Daily Mail, as Unai Emery seeks to shore up his porous defensive line. United have however rejected the offer.
