Arsenal are reportedly stepping up their interest in Manchester United’s Chris Smalling, and have expressed a willingness to get a deal tied up in the summer.
Mikel Arteta is looking to boost his defensive ranks with experienced stars, and has continued monitoring Smalling’s eye-catching performances on loan with Roma in Serie A.
Now the Gunners are ready to intensify their efforts to sign the 30-year-old, who is set to remain in Italy for the rest of the campaign, according to the Express.
