Arsenal reportedly wants to sign Ferland Mendy from Real Madrid despite already having some of the finest left-backs in the Premier League.
Mikel Arteta can call on Oleksandr Zinchenko and Kieran Tierney to play that role for the team, but they could still add a new man.
The Gunners will play in the Champions League next season and need experience in every part of their team to do well in the competition.
Mendy won it with Real Madrid last season and is generally considered one of the best players in that position in Europe.
He will bring a lot of experience to the Arsenal squad, but he will not be cheap.
A report on Fichajes reveals if Arsenal is serious, they must be willing to pay around £52.5m to add him to their squad when this campaign finishes.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Mendy is a fine left-back who can improve our group if we secure his signature, but spending that much money on him is probably not smart.
Our current options are not doing badly, and we expect them to keep improving as the season progresses.
However, if we can secure Mendy for a more reasonable fee, it is a move we should consider.

And then Arsenal will do what with their Nuno Tavare? Who they sent out on a season long loan to a Ligue 1 club side last summer transfer window. So that he will gain useful playing experience at his French loaned club. And return to Arsenal after completing his loan move there. And fight for his place in the Champions League team that Arteta will start building after this season has ended to play in the Ucl next season.
And hopefully, Arsenal will not only finish in the top4 place this season. But will as well win the Epl title too to end their season in a glorious fashion.
Top quality player but at the moment we don’t have a vacancy
Anyone on JA have any idea how many players our squad would contain right now, IF we signed ALL the daily false rumours that appear on JA like flies round a honeypot?
No ? I reckon we would be into five hundred at least and consequently BANKRUPT!
