Victor Nelsson of Galatasaray is now available, but Arsenal will have to compete with Tottenham Hotspur for his services this summer.
According to Turkish publication Fanatik , which offers additional information about the future of the Danish international.
The Turkish champions appear to be receiving serious attention from Arsenal.
They’ve been in regular contact with Sacha Boey, and a deal for the full-back might be finalised this week.
Mikel Arteta currently seems to be considering center-back options as Rob Holding’s future at Arsenal is uncertain.
Victor Nelsson, 24, has been identified by Arsenal as a potential successor and the club wants him this summer.
In a Galatasaray team that won their first league championship in four years, he was essentially always there.
Arsenal’s pursuit of Nelsson may be made more difficult by their close neighbours.
According to reports from T24, Tottenham and the defender have already reached a personal agreement.
He might change his mind if he gets the chance to play Champions League football down the street.
Arsenal want Tottenham target Nelsson
According to the Fanatik , Galatarasay has already received offers for Nelsson that reach up to £13.7 million.
They think that the Turkish club won’t trade him unless his £21.5 million release clause is satisfied.
Along with Tottenham’s initial interest, Nelsson is said to be desired by Arsenal and Sevilla.
Nelsson, who is little over six feet tall, isn’t the tallest centre back.
He rarely gets dribbled past by attackers and typically prevails in aerial duels.
Nelsson’s skill with the ball is one of the characteristics that will draw Arsenal and Tottenham to him.
He is an excellent passer out of the back, completing 75% of his passes into the half of the opponent.
Nelsson, who is mostly a right-sided center-back, would be a formidable opponent for William Saliba.
Arsenal struggled once the Frenchman left the team, so finding appropriate cover this summer is imperative.
Galatasaray will be hopeful that the increased interest in Nelsson would lead to a team rapidly fulfilling his release clause.
Arsenal may believe they can get a good deal by signing both players given that they also want his teammate Boey.
