Arsenal are reportedly pursuing Joachim Andersen this summer.
Fulham’s on-loan defender, Andersen has caught the eyes of bigger clubs following an impressive Premier League campaign.
Even if The Cottagers suffer the drop to the Championship, Andersen will come out with his head held high. The Dane has flown over from Lyon to give Fulham a solid base to fight with this season. Scott Parker’s men have made a late run for safety but might fall too short.
Arsenal are in the market for a new centre-back. David Luiz’s contract is due to end in June and a replacement has not been signed yet. Mikel Arteta still has William Saliba returning from his loan to OGC Nice. The teenage sensation from Ligue 1 has been sensational back in his home country this season, amping up his development by significant margins.
The Gunners also have the options of Rob Holding and Calum Chambers to cover the right centre-half positions. However, neither are considered long-term starters with clear upgrades required if Arsenal want to improve defensively.
Andersen’s signing could be difficult. West Ham United are also monitoring his situation while Fulham would like to keep him too.
