According to reports, Arsenal have already made an inquiry for Bologna full-back Aaron Hickey.
Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli initially reported that both Naples and Arsenal were interested in Bologna's Hicki. Arsenal have consulted the players and the Serie A team has offered them a price of 20 million euros.
Football.London then confirmed arsenal were following Hickey and were interested in signing the all-round defender.
Hickey is primarily a left-footed left-back, but is one of the players currently playing left and right, and can also play on the right.
The Scotland international uses his "weak side" foot 39 per cent of the time, which is higher than the current Arsenal players.
Kenyo Fuan was the only player close to him, at 32 percent, and even Kazzola only used his left foot 32 percent of the time.
Bologna have sometimes placed him on the right this season, so he has some experience on both flanks.
Given Arsenal's injury problems at full-back this season, Hicki would be a smart investment. Both Tierney and Fuan Jianyang were sidelined for a while due to injury, which damaged Arsenal's strength.
At the age of 19, Hickey will be another player that Arsenal can rely on for a long time.
Udinese are said to have provided a transfer fee of €4 million, but Arsenal want more from the defender.
Mali has a great performance at Udinese and he is more than willing to stay here.
While there are reports that Arsenal want to use Mali as a head start to bring in right-back Molina, Tutto MercatoWeb said the Italian side offered the 28-year-old a €4 million transfer fee.
TMW doesn't think the price will let Arsenal go, but doesn't offer a number acceptable to the gunman.
That being said, negotiations continue and it looks like the two teams will eventually agree.
Mali went on loan to Arsenal from Flamengo for £7.2 million at the end of January 2020, followed by the Gunners paying another £5.4 million for a permanent transfer.
Arsenal also paid him £85,000 a week, i.e. £8.84 million before leaving on loan in the winter window.
For a player who made just 22 appearances, Arsenal spent a total of £21.44 million.
