Arsenal Line Up Bid For Out-Of-Favour Chelsea Ace

Arsenal are lining up a shock move for Chelsea defender Alex, according to reports.

The Gunners are in desperate need to recruit a centre back and have identified the Brazilian defender after a row emerged over No.1 target Gary Cahill.

Bolton were left fuming after Arsenal offered £6million for the England defender just a third to what The Trotters rate him at. Arsene Wenger denied the accusations made by Bolton and admits the club submitted a far more favourable offer.

Alex was expected to join Italian outfit Juventus this summer but interest from Arsenal could keep the Brazilian in London, with Arsene Wenger weighing up an offer according to reports this weekend.
