Arsenal have reportedly identified three ideal English right-backs to pursue in the summer 2022 transfer window.
The Gunners bolstered their ranks in that position over the summer with the signing of Takehiro Tomiyasu, who has impressed during the early stages of his Premier League career.
Mikel Arteta also has Cedric Soares, Calum Chambers and Ainsley Maitland-Niles capable of playing at right-back, but Hector Bellerin has seemingly confirmed that he will not be heading back to North London after returning to Spain with Real Betis.
According to Fichajes, Norwich City's Max Aarons, Brighton & Hove Albion's Tariq Lamptey and James Justin of Leicester City are all on Arteta's wishlist for a more attacking full-back.
The report adds that the Gunners will hope to offload Cedric next year, while Aarons will aim to force a move away from Norwich if they suffer an immediate relegation back down to the second tier.
Lamptey's Brighton contract does not expire until 2025, though, while Justin is due to become a free agent in the summer of 2024.
