Ashley Williams back on Arsenal radar

Arsenal are reportedly set to revive their long-term interest in Swansea City skipper Ashley Williams. The 31-year-old has two years left on his existing deal at the Liberty Stadium.

The Wales international had been associated with a move to the Emirates in 2014 before he penned a long-term deal with the Swans.

According to The Mirror, the Gunners are planning a shock £20m swoop for the experienced campaigner following their defensive shambles in the final stages of games this season.

The arrival of a new centre-back could well see the exit of Per Mertesacker, who has struggled to adapt to the pace of the game this term.

Williams has appeared in all but two league games for the Swans this season.
