Daley Blind on Gunners radar

Arsenal are planning a shock raid for Manchester United defender Daley Blind. The Netherlands international is not one of Jose Mourinho's favourites at Old Trafford.

The Mirror says the Gunners are keeping a close watch on Blind's situation at United after the Special One revealed his intentions to cash in on the utility player.

Blind has adapted well to Premier League football in recent seasons, and he could prove to be the ideal fit for the Gunners, who are on the look out for a versatile addition to their backline.

The 26-year-old has the ability to play at centre-back, left-back, or as a holding midfielder.

Arsene Wenger's side would have to pay a fee in the region of £16m to land the former Ajax man.
