Arsenal Transfer News: Gunners Move For Chelsea’s £10m Centre Back

A demoralised Arsenal are launching a surprise move for Chelsea centre back Alex.

The Sun suggests Arsene Wenger is desperate to add some experience to his side especially after their humiliating 8-2 defeat to Manchester United yesterday.

The Emirates outfit have contacted Chelsea about Alex and the Blues are ready to sell, with Sky Sports sources also confirming Arsenal’s interest in the player but no official offer has been made as of yet.

The Gunners value the Brazilian at around £7million but their London rivals want £10million for the defender. Alex, 29, was an unused sub against Norwich on Saturday and is unsure of his future at Stamford Bridge with the powerful defender also linked to Serie A.

Juventus are thought to be interested in Alex with the former Italian giants looking to rebuild their squad having spent over £60million so far this summer.
