🔴⚪DEFENCE REINFORCEMENT : Arsenal hold Benjamin Henrichs transfer talks✅
Gunners have held negotiations with the representatives of RB Leipzig defender Benjamin Henrichs as. Mikel Arteta’s looks to strengthen his defence, according to German outlet kicker
The sports magazine claims that the Gunners are exploring the possibility of signing Henrichs as an alternative to Manchester City full-back Joao Cancelo – who has returned to Etihad Stadium after his successful loan spell at Bayern Munich.
Cancelo, who joined Bayern on a short-term loan deal in the winter transfer window, impressed during his time in Bundesliga. He fell out with Pep Guardiola prior to his move in January and is expected to leave Man City this summer.
The Portugal international featured in 28 games for the Premier League champions and made three goal contributions across all competitions last season. He initially struggled under Julian Nagelsmann but return to top form when Thomas Tuchel was appointed as the new Bayern manager.
The 29-year-old made 21 appearances, scored once, and provided six assists in all competitions as Tuchel’s side won the Bundesliga title on a dramatic final day of last season following Borussia Dortmund’s 2-2 draw with Mainz.
Arteta is looking to reinforce his defence this summer and has reportedly identified Cancelo as his top target, but Henrich is emerging as a serious alternative.
Defensive reinforcement
Henrichs has impressed in the Bundesliga since joining Leipzig from AS Monaco in 2021 permanently, having initially joined them on loan in 2020. He has established himself as one of the finest young defenders in Europe, and several clubs are chasing him.
The 26-year-old has made 101 appearances, scored seven times, and provided eight assists across all competitions, helping the club win the DFB-Pokal twice.
