Arsenal 'VERY CLOSE' to Signing €40 Million Kaiser

Manchester United supporters will be in utter disarray after reading this news as Arsenal close in on United’s prime defensive transfer target.
Gunners are also short of quality players and depth at the back and want to add German international Mats Hummels in the squad.
The Kaiser has been heavily linked with a move to premier league and Man United was the main name in the summer transfer window.
However, a lot has changed since then and according to latest reports, Arsenal are very close to signing Mats Hummels.
As per the provided link, the price tag mentioned is €40 Million which will be Arsenal’s record payment for a defender if the deal eventually goes through.
Moreover, Borussia Dortmund have agreed to sell their captain if a suitable offer comes in and the above mentioned value bid from Arsenal might just be that.
The talks between two clubs have reached advanced stage and Arsenal perhaps have the deal in their hands now.
Will Manchester United do anything about it and make a bigger offer to Dortmund and pay higher wages to Hummels to secure him somehow? Only time will tell.
Mats Hummels was the best central defender in the World Cup winning German squad and is surely one of the best around in his position.
Mertesacker and Koscielny form the starting central defense partnership for now and it is likely that Hummels will replace his compatriot.
