Arsenal Looking To Sign World Cup Winner Mats Hummels

Arsenal have been missing a strong central defender. Even if Mertesacker is very intuitive and has excellent skill, he does lack in speed and strength at times. Koscielny who is currently uncertain of what the future holds due to tendinitis, could be better complemented by a player like Hummels who has the edge over Mertesacker as seen in the World Cup this summer. According to Metro, Wenger is setting up an offer for the German who will not be cheap at all. Considered as one of the best central defenders in the world, Hummels is a big target for any team regardless of their name.

Dortmund’s captain is definitely worth the financial effort. He could solve a lot of Arsenal’s problems and he could offer The Gunners more confidence during important games. Currently Wenger can count on Chambers to fill in for the spot Vermaelen left uncovered when moving to Barcelona. Unfortunately, Arsenal’s recent acquisition is better off as a right-back.


Valued at a whopping £27million, the 25 year old would represent a great victory for Arsenal on the transfer market. Wenger will have tough competition though. City, United and Chelsea are interested in the center back’s services. Even if Hummels’s contract will expire in 2017, he might still be sold by Dortmund who are known for selling their most valuable players. The price can easily go higher. No one would mind surely especially after Luiz and Silva broke transfer records as far as defenders go.
