EPL: Arsenal make contact with Napoli to sign Kalidou Koulibaly
Arsenal have reportedly made contact with Italian Seria A side, Napoli, in a bid to sign highly-rated centre-back Kalidou Koulibaly.
The Gunners have been poor at the back this season, and new manager Mikel Arteta is under pressure to strengthen his back-four in January.
Koulibaly was previously on Manchester United’s radar, prior to the Red Devils splashing the cash to sign Harry Maguire from Leicester City, and is valued at £55million.
Arsenal do not have the funds to compete with the rest of the Big Six, and Arteta was warned by club chiefs that he wouldn’t have significant funds to sign new recruits next month.
But Napoli are keen on signing out-of-favour Arsenal defender Sead Kolasinac, and the north London club are hoping he can be used as a makeweight to land the centre-back.
