Federico Fernandez also scouted:
Though the Gunners are not yet satisfied with their attacking options, the manager urgently needs a center back to cover for Mertesacker’s injury and is now looking at more than one option.
This search has led him to Swansea City’s £10m rated Federico Fernandez. The Argentine center back was impressive at the back in the chances he got at the Liberty Stadium and is reportedly one of the many players in the list for Arsene Wenger.
At his price, the 27-year old is an able defender who has what it takes to deputize for Mertesacker but it is to be seen if Wenger makes a move in the coming days.
