Arsenal want to bring Aymeric Laporte back to England
Arsenal are interested in bringing Aymeric Laporte back to the Premier League from Al-Nassr this summer, according to AS.
The Spain international has been with the Saudi Pro League giants for the last two years, but he could return to European football soon.
With the World Cup coming up next year, Laporte could be tempted to return to the Premier League to boost his selection chances.
Arsenal were initially keen on landing him from Manchester City in the summer of 2023, but the Cityzens refused to do business.
After the success of Oleksandr Zinchenko and Gabriel Jesus, City did not want to strengthen the Gunners with another player.
The Gunners are now keen on signing him from Al-Nassr. The Saudi giants want to recoup part of the £23m fee spent on his services.
A deal could be on the cards with Arsenal eyeing another centre-back. Laporte will have to accept a massive pay cut on his £21m annual salary.
