Arsenal to make Benatia bid over next few days

Arsenal are set to make a move for Bayern Munich centre-back Mehdi Benatia over the next few days, according to RMC.

Last week images leaked of Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder Granit Xhak in an Arsenal shirt at their training ground, with the club expected to announce his signing in a matter of days. It now seems as though Wenger will again be looking at the Bundesliga for his second signing of the summer,this time in the shape of Bayern's Benatia.

The ex-Roma defender has fallen down the pecking order at the Bavarian side this season, and the north London side are expected to lodge a bid before the end of the week.
