ARSENAL are considering a bid for
Torino centre-back Nicolas Nkoulou, according to reports. The Cameroon
international captain has excelled this season to inspire his mid-table club to
the fourth-best defensive record in Serie A.
Nicolas Nkoulou has been the star
in Torino’s season so far. Gunners boss Unai Emery is a fan of the former
Monaco, Marseille and Lyon defender from his time as Paris Saint-Germain coach.
The Spaniard is eager to
strengthen Arsenal’s shaky defence, which has already leaked 31 Premier League
goals – by far the worst record among the top five teams.
And reports in Italy claim Emery
has urged Emirates chiefs to sanction a bid for 28-year-old Nkoulou. Torino
value the defender at around £12million, just six months after paying Lyon £3.15m
for him following a successful spell on loan.
