Arsenal readying bid for Ogbonna

A report in The Guardian is suggesting that Arsenal are weighing up summer move for Torino defender Angelo Ogbonna.

The Gunners have been following the talented centre-back for over a year now, and they appear ready to step up their interest.

Arsene Wenger is not satisfied with his current options in the heart of defence and believes the Italy international would add much needed steel to his back line.

Torino president Urbano Cairo has admitted he will listen to offers in the summer, but his €18 million valuation of the player might prove to be a problem.

Although, the reported interest from Juventus, Manchester United and Liverpool could justify the hefty price tag.

Angelo Ogbonna, 24, has missed more than two months of action due to hernia operation, but he has returned some ten days ago.

He is widely regarded as one of the best central defenders in Serie A and has even started one 2014 World Cup qualifier for Italy.
