Arsenal reportedly wants to sign the 25-year-old before the summer transfer season shuts, according sources from Evening Standard.
Especially with Jurrien Timber’s injury setback, the Gunners’ defensive unit currently lacks depth.
In order to improve the caliber and depth of their back four, the Londoners signed the Dutchman earlier this summer. However, he suffered a catastrophic injury on the first day of the season, which forced him to miss several months of action.
Arsenal is currently under pressure to sign replacements, and they have set their sights on the defender from Benfica.
In all tournaments last season, Bah, a crucial member of the Portuguese team, produced one goal and seven assists. The 25-year-old is capable of playing both right back and right-sided wingback. His adaptability will be a benefit to Arsenal as well.
The 25-year-old will support him moving forward and the Gunners could definitely need additional defensive quality.
The defender reportedly has a market value of between £26 and $30 million, and it is unclear if Arsenal would be willing to pay that much for him.
This season, the Gunners will play in the UEFA Champions League, and to succeed in many competitions, they need a deeper quartet. It will be intriguing to see if a deal for the 25-year-old defender can be finalized before the transfer window closes for the summer.
