Wolverhampton Wanderers rival Arsenal for Reims defender Axel Disasi?

Wolverhampton Wanderers have reportedly made the first move in the race to sign Reims defender Axel Disasi.

Having helped Reims put together the best defensive record in Ligue 1 this season, centre-back Disasi is inevitably attracting interest from bigger clubs.

With just one year remaining on the 22-year-old's contract, Arsenal are said to be monitoring the situation, aware that Reims are ready to cash in on arguably their biggest asset.

However, according to L'Equipe, Wolves have made a formal offer for the player, said to be in the region of €15m (£13.46m).

Although the report suggests that higher bids are expected in the future, the alleged move from Wolves puts pressure on their rivals for Disasi's signature.

The former France Under-20 international has made a total of 52 appearances for Reims since November 2017.
