Assuming that the Arsenal transfer rumours about Hector Bellerin are correct and his boyhood La Liga club FC Barcelona are determined to take him back to Spain this summer, then Arsene Wenger will need to find a top quality replacement for the Spanish right back.
And if the rumours doing the rounds about our north London rivals are true, then the Tottenham and England star Kyle Walker could be moving on as well, leaving Arsenal and the spuds potentially chasing the same players because we both need a right back.
Well that could be about to happen because The Mirror is reporting that our local rivals are looking at the PSG and Ivory Coast star Serge Aurier and those of you who keep up on Arsenal transfer issues will surely remember that Aurier was strongly linked with a transfer to Arsenal during the summer when we ended up signing Matthieu Debuchy.
The 24-year old Ivorian has failed to extend his contract with the French club and is apparently thinking of going elsewhere and I reckon Arsenal could do a lot worse. The chances of us beating Spurs to his signature are pretty strong as well because it appeared that he was keen to become a Gunner two years ago and photos even emerged of him in an Arsenal top.
So is Aurier the player to replace Bellerin if he leaves?
Bob.
