Arsenal in Kostas Manolas talks?

Arsenal are reportedly in talks with Olympiacos defender Kostas Manolas over a move to the Emirates.

The Gunners are thought to be in the market for a new centre-back following Thomas Vermaelen's recent switch to Barcelona.

According to Goal.com, Manolas's representatives have flown to the UK for talks regarding a possible transfer.

It is believed that Arsenal have been told that they will need to pay £8m to secure the services of the Greek international.

Manolas was part of his county's squad at this summer's World Cup.
