Manchester
United are now the only side looking to secure the services of Borussia Dortmund
centre-half Mats Hummels.
Arsenal
were the other side interested in his move in the past but with their recent signing of a centre-back Gabriel Paulista from Villarreal, the deal is likely to be
in the court of the Red Devils.
Arsenal
boss Arsene Wenger was keen to sign Hummels but the price tag was way too high
for the Frenchman which let him to sign other defender Paulista for a fee
around £12million. The Brazilian will wear the number five jersey for the North
London side.
Hummels
has been tipped several times to be a Red Devil since the summer, however
injury problems and lack of seriousness from the Premier League side have never
concluded the deal.
But
with now Arsenal taking a step back and Hummels set to leave the German side,
United could finally give some good news to their fans.
The
Red Devils are yet to land any defender this month and the transfer window has
now entered the final days.
From
Daily Star reports, United are also strongly targeting Dynamo Kyiv’s Aleksandar Dragovic who is likely to move to Old Trafford this month.
