Arsenal has been engaged in talks with West Ham regarding the signing of Declan Rice, and it appears that the Gunners may not stop there in terms of acquiring Hammers players.
While securing Rice’s services would undoubtedly enhance Arsenal’s squad, it seems that the North London club has also entered the race to sign Ben Johnson. Express Sports has reported that several clubs, including Arsenal, have expressed interest in the versatile 23-year-old full-back.
Johnson is known for his exciting abilities on both flanks, providing versatility to any team he joins. His age aligns well with Arsenal’s long-term squad-building plans, making him an attractive prospect for the Gunners.
However, it is worth noting that other clubs are also vying for Johnson’s signature and may compete with Arsenal to secure his services. It remains to be seen which club will ultimately secure his transfer.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Johnson is an exciting player to add to our squad and is young enough to be moulded into a top professional.
But he may struggle to play at the Emirates straight away and that could open the door for his other suitors.

Not sure why Arsenal would have an intrest in Ben Johnson, having sign Timber.
Timber has to be sign as a right back as he’s not a significant upgrade on holding, so Arsenal inverted right back problem has been solved..
Unless The Express Sports has mistaken ‘Ben Johnson’ for a term ‘ Ben Johnson Day’ used in the west meaning ‘ the day before pay day.
Or for monthly paid persons the last Friday before pay day.
Unless Tierney is leaving, I see no reason why we should go in for another full back. We have got Ben White, Tomiyasu, Tierney and Zinchenko as full backs for us.
