The Gunners’ interest in signing a full-back could raise more doubts about the future of Ben White, who has fallen behind Jurrien Timber in the pecking order at right-back. White, 28, will have two years remaining on his contract at the end of this season and could become a strong candidate to be sold by Arsenal, should suitable offers arise to help fund the move for Livramento.
The Telegraph states that Arsenal need to sell at least one first-team player this summer after investing heavily in their squad ahead of this season’s title charge. Their inability to consistently generate money through player sales has been a problem over the last decade, but departures of senior figures like Gabriel Jesus could provide the necessary financial boost.
