Arsenal are actively scouring the market for defensive reinforcements and have placed West Ham right-back Wan-Bissaka on a shortlist of 11 potential candidates, according toTEAMTalk. The 28-year-old, who previously made a name for himself at Crystal Palace and Manchester United, is expected to be available for transfer following the Hammers' recent relegation to the Championship.
The full-back recently returned from a steady World Cup campaign with DR Congo, where he helped his nation advance from a tough group featuring Portugal and Colombia before suffering a narrow round of 32 defeat to England.
Mikel Arteta is understood to be a fan of the defender's elite one-on-one capabilities. With the Gunners looking to add more steel to their backline, club officials believe Wan-Bissaka’s profile could complement Jurrien Timber, providing a specialist defensive option to halt the Premier League's most dangerous wingers.
