Arsenal chasing Taye Taiwo

02 January 2012 - 06:15

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger admitted yesterday that fresh injury worries for makeshift left back Thomas Vermaelen would mean that the Gunners are to investigate a defensive loan signing, and Nigerian left back Taye Taiwo is the latest name linked with a move to the Emirates.

Man City defender Wayne Bridge has also been linked with a move to London; but Arsene Wenger is a fan of AC Milan defender Taiwo and is hoping to bring the defender in on a one month loan deal.<br />

Arsenal are currently without four first choice full backs, as Carl Jenkinson, Andre Santos, Kieron Gibbs and Bacary Sagna all remain sidelined with injury. Taye Taiwo had been linked with a permanent move away from AC Milan only last month, frustrated with life on the bench at the San Siro.<br />

A move to Arsenal would appeal to all parties involved, and discussions are expected to commence this week.
