Arsenal 'monitoring Nicolas Tagliafico'

Arsenal are reportedly considering a swoop for Ajax defender Nicolas Tagliafico at the end of the season.

The Gunners are expected to move for at least one new full-back this summer as head coach Unai Emery looks to make his mark in the transfer market following a frustrating January window.

Arsenal have recently been linked with a swoop for Celtic's Kieran Tierney, but according to ESPN, the Premier League club are also keeping a close eye on Tagliafico ahead of a potential move.

Emery's side will seemingly face competition from Real Madrid should they move for the Argentine, though.

Indeed, according to Tagliafico's agent Ricardo Schlieper, Madrid are considering a summer swoop for the 26-year-old, who has made 45 appearances for Ajax since a 2018 move from Independiente.

Tagliafico has contributed five goals and five assists in 30 appearances for Ajax this term.
