Premier
League side Arsenal are hoping to sign Malaga left back Vitorino Antunes for a
fee around £2.5million according to Express.
The Portuguese defender who has earned eight caps for his country has a £2.5million worth according to Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger.
The
27-year-old full-back is in doubts for his future as he has denied to sign a
new deal. His current contract will expire in 2016 which means Malaga might
sell him for a cheap price.
The Portugal international defender has played 47 La Liga games for Malaga since his move in 2012.

Arsenal
new right-back Mathieu Debuchy is out for three months with an ankle injury while
left-back Nancho Monreal is also struggling with his injury. Kieran Gibbs is
the only senior left-back fit to play in the Arsenal squad.
While
Calum Chambers who was signed from Southampton this summer can play on any side
of defence. Former Arsenal center-back Sol Campbell has told the young Englishman
to be a permanent center-back rather than becoming a full-back.
Campbell
told Sky Sports: “I don't think he is going to be a right-back or a left-back.”
Campbell
believes that his body and game style is perfect for the central role, he should
listen to him and should keep learning.
