Arsenal have reportedly moved ahead in their pursuit of signing a new defender by contacting Monaco’s and Congolese defender Marcel Tisserand’s agent, as per report from French media.
The 23-year-old Congo international can play as both a right-back as well as a central defender and according to report coming from GFFN.
Arsene Wenger who is reportedly keen on strengthening his defensive options ahead of this upcoming season has showed his interest on the Congolese.
The report also went on claiming that the Gunners representatives ahead of a potential switch have contacted the Congolese’s agent, but it appears the deal is on the verge of collapsing, as Tisserand is reportedly in talks with St. Etienne.
