Arsenal interested in signing Barcelona defender?

Arsenal have reportedly expressed an interest in signing Barcelona right-back Sergino Dest this summer.

The Gunners are braced for the departure of Hector Bellerin, who is attracting interest from Inter Milan.

They are already searching for a possible replacement, and Sport claims that they are in the mix to sign Dest.

The Catalan giants need to lower their wage bill by a staggering €150m before they can register their new signings.

Dest is one of those, who could be sold this summer, and the Gunners have reportedly expressed an interest in him.

Bayern Munich have also been linked with the USA international, having previously failed to sign him from Ajax.

Despite the speculation, Dest recently affirmed that he is committed to the club, and he is looking forward to next season.

Aside from Dest, the Gunners have also identified Norwich City's Max Aarons as a possible successor to Bellerin.

Aarons is reportedly valued at around £30m by the newly-promoted outfit.
