Donny van de Beek is struggling for game time at Manchester United.
The Gunners have made contact with Van de Beek’s representatives regarding the future of the Dutch international.
Arsenal legend Ian Wright expressed his desire last summer that he wished the 24-year old midfielder joined Arsenal instead of Manchester United.
Wright might get his wish in this transfer window as Arsenal are said to be interested in signing the Dutchman.
“Donny van de Beek, he’s someone that I wish someone more like Arsenal could have taken,” Wright said on The Kelly and Wrighty Show.
“When you look at [Paul] Pogba, what he’s doing, and you look at Bruno Fernandes – that is Donny van de Beek’s position.
“So people are thinking they’re going to see Van de Beek [sitting] with Pogba and Fernandes, but I don’t think that’s going to happen, because as much as he can play there, that’s not his preferred position to play.
“Listen, Donny van de Beek will be a good player for Man United in time because he’s a quality player.
“But is he what they need right now?”
