Arsenal desperately want Chelsea's Gary Cahill
Friday night's fourth-round FA Cup defeat to Manchester United and subsequent elimination from the tournament didn't just cost Arsenal a spot in the next round of the cup, it also cost them two of their experienced defenders.
The match saw Laurent Koscielny suffer a suspected broken jaw, while Sokratis Papastathopoulos went down to an ankle injury. With things expected to heat up in the race for a spot in the top four, Arsenal are understandably desperate to find replacements before the end of Thursday's transfer deadline.
According to reports from The Daily Mirror, Arsenal are reportedly set to send Chelsea an SOS call, desperately requesting the services of centre-back Gary Cahill. The Englishman has reportedly been told that he can leave Chelsea once his contract expires in the summer but is wanted by Arsenal for the remainder of the season.
Arsenal manager, Unai Emery, is understood to be determined to sign Cahill with his limited budget, as the likes of Crystal Palace and Fulham also continue to be linked with potential moves for Cahill.
